I am using Debian SID with KDE3.1 on a Sony Vaio Laptop with a PIII-650 MHz and 128 MB RAM. My main applications are Konqueror, Konsole and XEmacs and sometimes I also run mozilla and the system runs really fine. I doubt that my system is swapping a lot. I am pretty sure, most of the huge amount of memeory that is used by XFree86 and kdeinit is in reality cache. Don't trust top. Take care, Michael
