It is the biggest memory hog of all: http://ktown.kde.org/~seli/memory/ Since you certainly want some sort of kiosk mode, so the children can not destroy the installation, you also want a DE with a working Kiosk-mode implementation. Gnome's sucks. KDE's works: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=kde-devel&m=116072498907866&w=2 > Gnome Office http://www.gnome.org/gnome-office/ There is no 'gnome office' - just a bunch of bad integrated apps. Read the ktown-link, gnome+abiword needs more ram than kde+koffice. > Open Office org http://www.openoffice.org/index.html and you certainly don't want openoffice, which is incredibly slow AND bloated. It needs ~100mb ram alone! KDE has kdeedu - has gnome something similar? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
