I run KDE here and it uses less than 1Gbs all the time. Most of the |
13 |
time it hovers around 1Gb with a lot of junk open. If your used 8Gbs, |
14 |
you got a lot running or something. o_O |

Yea but I don't use LVM. I may one day but not today. I got enough |
29 |
drive issues right now without adding another layer to it. |

I have a separate /boot, /usr/portage, /home and /var. I started to |
49 |
make /var larger but didn't realize I was going to be using the |
50 |
http-replicator thing. It would be nice to have LVM but that is water |
51 |
under the bridge right now. |
