I'm using 4.5G right now according to free -m (using the -/+ buffers/cache
entry). 550M for a Windows VM, 355M for Kontact, 350M for my TV-Browser
application, 200M for Firefox, incredible 165M for a Chromium instance, 155M
plasma-desktop. Oh, there's an emerge -a command waiting for me to confirm
it should run, 155M. virtuoso-t neds 150M, the same goes for Amarok, and
kwin is at 140 now. The rest is mainly more Chromium and Konqueror
processes, X, akonadi_nepomuk, apache2, kmymoney, the rest is less then 65M
each.
The system even starts swapping from time to time. 6G was not enough, things
are much better now that I have 8G. With 4, it became unusable after 1-2
days of being logged into KDE.
