I am using Debian SID with KDE3.1 on a Sony Vaio Laptop with a
PIII-650 MHz and 128 MB RAM. My main applications are Konqueror,
Konsole and XEmacs and sometimes I also run mozilla and the system
runs really fine. I doubt that my system is swapping a lot.
I am pretty sure, most of the huge amount of memeory that is used by
XFree86 and kdeinit is in reality cache. Don't trust top.
Take care,
Michael
