I run DSL 3.2 on an old Toshiba laptop with only 32 megs of RAM. It's running fine, though. Only thing I miss is a proper P2P-client. The Java-based clients in myDSL, Limewire and Sirrr Bloats-a-lot himself, Azereus, won't like my machine's low specs. I've tried installing Gtk-gnutella from apt-get, but it didn't work. According to the people at Gtk-gnutella, it's because the version included in the woody repos is too old. Likewise, I've been unsuccesful with mutella and gIFT from apt-get. I've also tried installing a newer version of Gtk-gnutella from source, but this failed, due to lacking make-tools and missing libs (and when I tried to install all the libs, I ended up messing up the whole distro).

Any suggestions towards a lightweight, easy to install, P2P-client?

perhaps some of the mydsl extensions?

for ed2k there's xmule or amue-gtk.

for BT, there's bittorrent-gui + bittornado.

Okay, I tried amule. Seems to work. Trouble is, it being a .uci, I'll have to re-install it upon every boot. I can't seem to find xmule. Could you point me towards it's location?

frostwire.uci is a limewire clone in testing, but it's a uci so it won't chew as much memory.  It is java based however and gobbles cpu at times.

I appreciate you're tryin' to help, WDEF, but if you read the previous posts here, you'll see that frostwire isn't an alternative for two reasons:

1. I can't run java-based software.
2. I would prefer to install a non-.uci program, so that it would remain permanently on my harddisk.
