I have an old Dell Optiplex GX1 with a PIII 433mhz cpu, 192 mb RAM, and a bunch more old moldy stuff inside.
Antix 7 brought this old computer back to life. I'm using it to write this and listen to Streamtuner at the same time. Everything works as near as I can tell. The only problem is that I need a left hand mouse and I haven't found out how to fix that yet (if I can).
Actually, this old Dell wasn't a doorstop, but it was in too good of shape to part out. I'm glad to get it running again.

Thanx!

Welcome to antiX bobpur.

How does a left-hand mouse work differently? I have no idea about this, especially in fluxbox.

Well, on a regular IBM Compatible mouse the function of the two buttons is reversed for a lefty. The mouse I use is a Logitech Marble mouse that stays still and a large"marble" is moved to move the cursor. With a regular mouse, I find sometimes, that I need a mousepad as big as a coffee table. Whether it is a regular or"marble" mouse, the"lefty" thing is still the same. Reverse functionality of the buttons.

Thanks for the info, deiselbenz. I'll check it out first chance I get. I'm just chillin' this evening and don't want to start something I may have to quit in the middle of.
