Generally, with the window manager and a couple of applications running my memory usage was still below 170 MB.
not good at all, I don't understand why he's impressed.

We also like tc small as it is because small also means easy to understand and administrate.

It wasn't entirely clear whether the 170mb was with CorePlus apps only, or with something added. For reference, I just tested CorePlus 4.2 icewm boot, opening most of the included apps, and ram usage was at 73mb.

Other than that, looks like Jesse was happy with Core ;)

The DW guys were reactive: I asked for an update (more desktops etc.) and they made it within few hours.
Additionally, they seems happy. Good. More attractivity in such a forum = more brains coming here..
