I am running Mandrake 7.1 and KDE and being a newbie am just starting to look
at top. I know that both x and KDE are memory hogs, but I need them for now as
I learn my way around. Even so, I cannot believe that with nothing on but
these two and a kconsole, I am using up 73 MB of ram!
I still do not know enough to understand all the processes that are running.
Could someone look at this top printout and suggest to me what seems to be
taking up so much memory?
Thanks.
