KDE 3.1.x is a complete memory hog. An interesting exersize is to run a RAM display program like gmemusage. Right now, I have: linux 28MB xfree86 115MB kdeinit 135MB the rest of my memory are divided in smaller chunks. xfree86 115MB!!!!! What is the X server doing with all that RAM? Not, it is not a memory leak. I quitted xsane, and gqview, and it went down to *only* 53MB. There is no chance in that is going to run on a 128MB system. kpackage is practically unusable on a small system. It grabs over 100MB of RAM when I run it, making my get down on its knees. So, the recommendation: Get more RAM! The alternative is to run KDE like windows. Start only one application at the time, and expect it to run out of memory. Karolina
