in processes task manager says i'm using a total of 25mb, inc dependencies.

in resources, it says 204. given the sluggishness of the totally minimal

however, even if i was to open every gui ap, it shouldn't use that much.

what's wrong with it? why is it using up my ram?

atm, just ruunning xfce takes 200mb. nothing stupid is installed, the

I've already seen the same question today, about memory being eaten up, and that too was someone using xfce. The answer was that xfce suffers from memory leaks.

The thing to do is log out of xfce, restart it, and keep an eye on memory useage. If it is a memory leak problem, you should initially see hardly any memory being used, and this will slowly creep up with the passing of time.

Oh. kinda contradictory for the 'light' DE. Still, they seem on the ball. I'm sure it'll be sorted in no time
