IIRC, Linux allocates a lot of memory for the disk buffer, so it's not only the applications that cause the high memory consumption. Anyway, I would recommend icewm if you're looking for a window manager that is less hungry concerning memory. Regards, Niklas -- Not everything worth doing is worth doing well.
