i've read about somebody from the KDE side working on a "KDE light" version aimed at netbooks, etc.
what i was writing here, the netbook version of KDE, is different, not necessarily light on resources, good for outdated hardware, but meant for netbooks with limited screen resolution.
somebody is working somewhere on a light version of KDE, but i can't find the reference anymore that i was reading quite a while ago...
That's good to hear. With the availability of cheap RAM, the requirement of highly optimized fast executing desktop code seems to have fallen by the wayside in this multiply inherited poly morphized world of desktop software. KDE4 does a pretty good job though. I have it running on 11.0 without issues on one of my daughters computer that is an old Athon XP 2400 w/2G and Radeon 800 XT w/256M of DDR3. Not blazingly fast, but working very well even with compiz running. Of course performance will tank with 11.2 due to the loss of the fglrx driver. Time for a new nvidia card in that one anyway. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
