Huh ?.

I run Splack 8.0 on an old diskless Javastation with 32Mb and no swap,
it runs X just fine.
OK, so KDE is bloatware, just use fvwm and it will work fine.
One of my 486/33 boxes only had 16Mb, it also ran fvwm with
no problems until I cleared out all of the P100 and below boxes
for the local school who were short on kit.

Old computers never die, they just smell that way <B-).
