RE: Netscape and Gnome

[Steve Homer <shomer fmco com>]

Are there any plans to fix this at any stage, I assume the large memory
usage is unnecessary. I have the luxury of 196mb, but the idea that the
small tight Linux system is being diluted with Microsoft techniques is
unpleasant.

Please don't get me wrong I think Gnome is fantastic!

Steve.

Well, I ran my P60 using 40MB and 64MB. 64 is okay most of the time...
unless you want to run Gnome, Netscape, StarOffice, and a kernel compile
at the same time ;-)

Actually in my experience That Other GUI For Linux is a bit more memory
inetnsive ;)

WindowMaker is a good choice :-) And it's just sooooo beautiful :-)

To the original poster - if you run E on that machine, then you should
really not be surprised :)
