I like GNOME and KDE but these are memory hungry desktops . Multitasking becomes little difficult due to this . Following is output of free while running XMMS and Kmail The values are in MB
total used *free* shared buffers cached Mem: 60 59 1 0 1 29 -/+ buffers/cache: 29 31 Swap: 156 1 155
Notice the drastically low value of free memory. The situation is pretty much the same with GNOME.
Please suggest some lightweight desktop environment which doesn't eat so much memory.
