I have 256 MB at home. Been running that machine for over a year. KDE and
GNOME sometimes work in parallel and I have 8 virtual desktops on that box.
Enlightenment can certainly cope. As a 'living room' PC, you would not
expect it to do much memory- and CPU-intensive stuff. It's a mom-and-pop
(and child) machine. Computer pros get a full scale PC. Also think OLPC for
the sake of this argument.
