I'm running #! into a 700 Mhz CPU with 512 MB of RAM and it takes only 80MB
of RAM footprint.
It runs OpenBox, Tint2, Conky, NetworkManager and no deskto icon manager
(PCManFM takes a little bit more but it's ok)
So as you can see the problem it's not the DE...
The 512MB will be saturated when you start Firefox and use it with 10 tabs
open with HTML5 multimedia objects running on it...that's it
At the moment we need a decent and modern replacement for iDesk (very
specific and light to do one think done well...let users click on an icon
and trigger an action on it) from this point of view...PCManFM it's
bloatware...
If you think in terms of pure C (i.e: fltk) you can sleep relaxed because
Enlightenment it's here at our disposal and is programmed with the embedded
world inside.
So we need only a release of PCManFM specific to draw icons on desktop and
manage a little of animations like you can do in an iPhone/Android Home
screen...the rest is out there (windows managers, panels, icon trayers,
players, ....)
cheers,
Luca
