Seriously considering rolling my own Linux distro using embedded libraries, to get rid of the Gnome and KDE memory sucking crap.

Talk about wasted resources... Just buy more RAM, Dan...

Sigh, that's probably the right answer. But it also feels like it's just enabling bad behavior, like Gnome will sense the amount of RAM I have and expand to make the machine just barely unusable no matter how much I have.
That rant, by the way, was brought to you by watching the various Gnome processes taking minutes to clean up after themselves while restarting a machine with 8 Gig of RAM.

Ran straight X11 for years -- it was easy to set up under Gentoo (which is sort of like rolling your own distro). Sharing the computer now, though, and feeling the ubuntu/unity/gnome pain.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
