I have not tried them on a limited memory machine, though. Even our "discarded" laptops here have 512MB each (2GB in the new ones). Ubuntu should do somewhat better than Kubuntu for this, though (KDE/Kubuntu is fantastic, but yes, it's a memory hog).

Yeah, I knew that, already. I use KDE both at work, and at home. I'll take a look at it, and see what I think. I suspect I'll have to/want to move away from KDE to a more lightweight window manager.


XFCE4 is in the apt repository for Ubuntu, so you could install that after finishing the basic Gnome install, and then switch to it at login time.

Cheers
