Re: [orca-list] Lightweight Linux distro with screen reader Support

Well, I just checked with Slint installed in a virtual machine 
restricted to 1G
RAM, teh system is still responsive, so there shouldn't be an issue with 2G.

AS an aside by default we set a compressed swap device in RAM, which 
practically
multiplies its physical size by 1.7

So in case of 2G the usable size of the RAM becomes 5.4G.

But yes better to allow 40G of disk space to Slint, the minimum being 
around 30G
(20G for the system plus 10G of user files in this case).

Cheers,
Didier
