Is this defined? Such as 500 MHz CPU, 128 MB RAM, 2 GB disk? A few years ago, I defined "lightweight" as 166 MHz CPU, 64 MB memory (and no swap), and 300 MB disk. I am currently using LXDE on 2 core 2.4 GHz CPU, 5 GB RAM, and over 100 GB disk -- and on 2 core 2.26 GHz CPU, 2.8 GB RAM and over 200 GB disk. > 2) make a DE which will consume less resources that everything else; How will this be measured?

I think it is too open-ended. If specific limits aren't in place then the focus of lightweight may be lost and it will just become another desktop environment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try New Relic Now & We'll Send You this Cool Shirt New Relic is the only SaaS-based application performance monitoring service that delivers powerful full stack analytics.
