Ubuntu Goes Low Spec!

| Xubuntu: Realizing the sheer number of people who will disagree with me
| here, I still feel that using 128MB of RAM even when installed is
| sufficient enough. The reason for that is that applications will
| actually run without causing you to pull out your hair from the
| lack of speed. As for the CPU, I'd recommend going with
| 160MHz+ myself.

| I used KDE 2.2 from July 2003 to December 2004 to write my documents,
| develop my compiler and browse the web."

What about the performance and memory usage of KDE and GNOME?

| In this particular test, KDE and some typical KDE applications were
| found to consume 143.2 MB of RAM. GNOME and comparable GNOME
| applications consumed 174.8 MB. XFCE and some third-party
| applications comparable to the ones used for GNOME and KDE
| consumed 206.8 MB of RAM.

Windows Vista consumes 600MB of RAM with no apps running
,----[ Quote ]
| closed the sidebar, but sidebar.exe is still alive and using 26MB.
| Windows Explorer (not Internet Explorer) is using 55MB. The Search
| Indexer is consuming 30MB. Even the recommended 1GB of RAM might not
| leave much room for applications on Vista.
