KDE vs GNOME
Like most first-time debian users, i started using gnome, mainly
because it was the "default" option when i did my first graphical
login. After I got used to the system (i was a slackware user) i
noticed things getting slow. Apart from firefox, which eats no less
than 50mb out of my memory, gnome seems to consume a lot of memory too.
And I wonder why they choose KDE to be default in the Knoppix live cd.
Is KDE faster than GNOME? I really need a good looking desktop without taking up that much resources...
BTW, i have disabled almost all startup items in init.d... I cant improve more than that, i guess.
Cheers,
Leo
