Hello Herve33,

@Herve33 Did you have a problem that was solved through this thread?

Hello Charlie Brown,

In the meantime, though this is not a Mac , this laptop (of mine) is even "antiquated" , single core 32 bit with 2048 ram (at max.) (was originally 512 MB only..) .. from the end of 2005 .. It's flying no matter what version MX , even with latest kernels ... Shortly, you can make it even lighter disabling the unnecessary programs from startup (those that you don't need everyday ...)

aye caramba! So you have some old hardware too.

I must say from my initial exposure to MX-Linux I am very impressed with the performance.

It's a shame to put these old computers to landfill, MX-Linux is keeping it green and saving old computers like this iMac.

"Session and Startup" from menu , "App. Autostart" tab .. also in a terminal (for more/advanced)

sudo sysv-rc-conf

I duly note this and will consider it if my setup slows down.

As the browser, Slimjet is really lighter (just closed source as a con) (especially the 32 bit version, but sadly they stopped the 32bit version at 30.0.5.0 )

Never heard of Slimjet and will have a peek at it but I found it hard to install a current browser on the Mac OS X 10.11 and in the end went for an older version of Firefox.

It runs really well but it is not current.

Hope you had a good weekend.

I'm a happy chappy, my (Australian Rules Football) team which was 8th in the ladder beat the top team on the ladder.

So, double win this weekend, I finished the iMac and my team kicked butt and may be in the finals in another month!

Btw. when mentioning (or to mention) just begin typing with @ but then select the name from the little list that appears (otherwise, when manually typed, that user won't be notified :) )

Hi Charlie Brown,

I commence typing @ but I don't get a list.

Confused.

Oh, that's weird, then.. maybe something with the browser (something turned off maybe and preventing that)...

Hmm...don't know.

But I definitely don't get a list.

Some extensions prevent that (java etc..) i.e. FF addon script blocker

Normally it looks like this (and takes red colour by itself)

Hello Charlie Brown,

It's ok, my bad.

I thought that by keying in @ then a list would come up, but I had to start typing the name.

All good now.
