Memory requirements of desktop environments, from <http://linuxreviews.org/software/desktops/>: * XFCE 4: 128 MB * Gnome 2: 384 MB * KDE 3: 512 MB Gnome, and KDE are slow, and resource-hungry. Why not make something with less bloat, like XFCE, as the default desktop environment in Debian? Especially since nobody wants to spend money buying the most expensive hardware. -- Masatran, R.
