While gnome is a good desktop (as is kde) it still amazes me how much
memory they consume. Neither is anywhere near as efficient as the newer
windows explorer from a memory usage perspective.
I would love to use gnome or kde, but until the memory requirement comes
down I'll stick with windowmaker.
And yes, I have 512MB in my laptop and that should be plenty!
