How about this:

    4. You may want to select a desktop environment task (Gnome or KDE).
       However, these each take up a fair amount of disk space and tend
       to be more resource intensive.  For example, if you have a 486
       with 32M of memory or less, you'd be better of running a lightweight
       window manager instead.
