My question is, are there additional things I can do to KDE to help save some RAM on the thin clients? i've read about somebody from the KDE side working on a "KDE light" version aimed at netbooks, etc. this isn't even in any pre-release stage yet AFAIK, but you could probably find out more, what they're doing and how far along they have come, by looking into KDE mailing lists, blogs, etc.
apart from that the only thing i can think of is going into personal settings, disabling all effects, etc.-- or using openSUSE 11.1 with KDE 3.
phani, all,
This is a real problem, that I hadn't really given much thought about, but what are people running on PIII-800 512M of RAM boxes going to do when kde3 goes away? I'd be willing to wager that everything P4 2.0GHz or Athlon XP2400 and earlier will struggle with KDE4. What will the alternative be?
iceWM, FluxBox, openBox, LXDE (openbox clone), TWM, etc. are all lightweight but 'toy' desktops compared to kde3. I'm not sure Gnome is much lighter. What will the viable option for older hardware be from KDE?
Xfce4. In fact there is even an Xubuntu Distro you can install on such machines. And you are correct that Gnome is not lightweight. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
