I used to use a couple dial-in BBS's back in the late 1980's, early
1990's, but had never heard the term 'reflector' before. I guess you
can use any therm that suits you, but you might have some people, not
sure what you mean.

It looked like a legitimate enough question to me.<g>

On my workstations,where I have 1 GIG RAM, I run the KDE desktop
without any trouble.

On my laptop, with 128 MB RAM, I have KDE, but it is really sluggish,
so I also have another identity with TWM, Tab Window Manager, which is
a very minimal Window Manager. It works good when you don't have a lot
of RAM, but it takes a little getting used to, especially if you are
coming from a Microsoft Windows environment.
