KDE does not require 512 MB of memory to run well. That URL you cited seems laughable to me; there is no real data, no testing, etc. KDE itself, without actual apps running, can take up about 80 MB of memory. From there, it just depends on how many apps you run at the same time, which is true of any situation. And remember that when you use KDE apps, those libs are shared among all of them. I don't think it would be a good idea to choose the least capable DE for the default in Debian. I think KDE should be the default, but that's just me. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
