I have run arch linux on a 1G machine with KDE4 and a windows VM of 256MB. Although VM brought it to a slower side because it starts hitting swap, so long as you keep using VM continuously, you won't notice a thing. 1G is plenty. 512 is sufficient. 256 is where things get interesting :) (I lost context of original post, so dunno what RAM that system has) -- Shridhar _______________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List
