Well, I did some testing during F20 cycle which seems to indicate F20 Shell takes up a lot more memory than F19 when using llvmpipe. We're not sure exactly what's going on yet, I need to find time to circle back and investigate, but I suspect '1GB in a VM' and '1GB on metal' will be somewhat different experiences. 1GB is getting a bit thin for the default desktop with the current typical requirements of GNOME, FF and LO, though, yeah. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
