Hardware is only as old as the software it runs: a modern operating system and
|
|
up-to-date applications return an older system to productivity. This article
|
|
provides best practices and step-by-step guidance on how to build a working
|
|
Linux system on older hardware or on modern hardware with limited memory and
|
|
storage.

> Purging of uneeded Locales:

<B

CLASS="command"

>localepurge</B

|
> for Debian
|
|
is just a simple script to recover disk space wasted for unneeded
|
|
locale files and localized man pages. Depending on your installation, it
|
|
is possible to save some 20, 30, or even more megabytes of disk space
|
|
usually dedicated for locales you'll probably never have any usage for.
