Funny thing about Ximian. I've got a box with Ximian and a few other GUIs on it. With Ximian loaded up, I get X eating about 60% of my RAM (96 MB) and nautilus eating about 20% of my CPU (266 MHz). Granted this isn't a workhorse box, but still... WindowMaker on the same box uses less than 10% of my RAM and barely touches my CPU. On a Pentium generation laptop, that's an enormous difference. Also FWIW, the 1.2 version of Gnome used about 1/3 the resources that Ximian does now. Ximian's a great interface, but I can't recommend it anymore without significant reservation. I just installed Red Hat 7.1, 2.4.2 kernel, on a 486x66 with 36 MB of RAM; there's no reason Ximian shouldn't run better than this.
