    <p>I want to build a lightweight linux configuration to use for development. The first idea is to use it inside a Virtual Machine under Windows, or old Laptops with 1Gb RAM top. Maybe even a distributable environment for developers.</p> <p>So the whole idea is to use a LAMP server, Java Application Server (Tomcat or Jetty) and X Windows (any Window manager, from FVWM to Enlightment), Eclipse, maybe jEdit and of course Firefox.</p> <p>Edit: I am changing this post to compile a possible list of distros and window managers that can be used to configure a real lightweight development environment.</p> <p>I am using as base personal experiences on this matter. Info about the distros can be easily found in their sites. So please, focus on personal use of those systems</p> <hr> <p><h1>Distros</h1></p> <h2>Ubuntu / Xubuntu</h2> <p><strong>Pros</strong>: </p> <ul> <li>Personal Experience in old systems or low RAM environment - @<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/2386/schroeder">Schroeder</a>, @<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/1666/scdf">SCdF</a></li> <li>Several sugestions based on personal knowledge - @<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/658/kyle">Kyle</a>, @<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/720/peter-hoffmann">Peter Hoffmann</a></li> </ul> <h2>Gentoo</h2> <p><strong>Pros</strong>: </p> <ul> <li>Not targeted to Desktop Users - @<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/2976/paan">paan</a></li> <li>Don't come with a huge ammount of applications - @<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/2976/paan">paan</a></li> </ul> <h2>Slackware</h2> <p><strong>Pros</strong>:</p> <ul> <li>Suggested as best performance in a wise install/configuration - @<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/1811/ryan-guest">Ryan</a></li> </ul> <h2>Damn Small Linux</h2> <p><strong>Pros</strong>:</p> <ul> <li>Main focus is the lightweight factor - 50MB LiveCD - @<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/1811/ryan-guest">Ryan</a></li> </ul> <h2>Debian</h2> <p><strong>Pros</strong>:</p> <ul> <li>Very versatile, can be configured for both heavy and lightweight computers - @<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/1811/ryan-guest">Ryan</a></li> <li>APT as package manager - @<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/658/kyle">Kyle</a></li> <li>Based on compatibility and usability - @<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/658/kyle">Kyle</a></li> </ul> <hr> <p>-- Fell Free to add Prós and Cons on this, so we can compile a good Reference. -- X Windows suggestion keep coming about XFCE. If others are to add here, open a session for it Like the distro one :)</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
