A few years ago a major criticism of Windows was how much memory the OS took up. Linux users claim much less memory and thus it could run on slower computers better. Since then GUIs have become much larger on Linux and some even take up as much memory and run as slow as XP.

My question is: does anybody know of a good GUI to run on Linux that doesn't take up a whole lot of memory? I could run it command line only, but I don't want to. Call me lazy.
This is yet another plus of Linux: you choose your GUI.

KDE is incredibly feature rich, but somewhat memory hungry because of that.
Gnome is less feature rick, and just about as memory hungry.

Those two are the most popular, namely b/c of the features.

There are, however, very popular lightweight GUI's. Refer to my last Tech Tips issue (you DO read them, don't YOU? :D ) for links and description of these sort of frontends.
