Xubuntu 8.10 is running very nicely on my T23 also with 1GB RAM. I
don't try Compiz ;-) but even Google Earth runs well enough to be
usable on occasion. That was not possible with earlier versions. I don't
know where the improvements were made; kernel, video driver or xorg, or
maybe all three, but it helps this older hardware remain useful in
today's graphically intensive computing environment.
