For testing stuff, I run KDE in a VM allocated with 1.5G of memory. No problems memory wise for what I use it. Assuming you have the disk space, install both of them and then move to the one that suits your needs. On my "work" machine I've got a few Desktop Environments installed and when I have some troubles with KDE I switch to GNOME and I'm quickly happy with KDE again. :-) :-) One thing that *may* be of value to you is to run a KDE desktop but use lightdm as the Display Manager. Not something I've tried....but lightdm may use less memory than kdm. Again, I'm just speculating. > Really havent had too many issues with KDE memory wise besides AKONDI eating > memory when KMAIL isnt open. but other than that thanks to KSPLICE ive had 21, > 22 consecutive uptime without a reboot. > The only time I reboot my system is when the kernel is updated.
