Sorry, just reporting what I've observed on an amd64 system while running Enlightenment, with a 1280x1024 jpeg background, 2 Eterms and 1 top. The system has 1 GB memory and 1 GB swap space. Kernel - 2.6.10-r4, xdm/X, hddtemp, smartmond, fcron, monkeyd, syslog-ng, portmapper, esd, xfssyncd, and the normal usb/ata/udev/kernel items. > In the end I think that the memory requirements depend strongly on what > one has running at the compile time. > It also depends on whether c++ and java are involved as well.
