Recommended configuration

* The hardware requirements of LXDE is similiar to Windows 98 (Maybe * a little bit higher). So an old Pentium II CPU is enough. * After X11 and LXDE are started, the total memory usage is * about 45 MB on i386 machines. (This value may be higher or * lower according to different system configurations.) * Though LXDE itself doesn't require better hardware, other * applications under X do need it. For example, Firefox and * OpenOffice.org 2 are quite memory-hungry. So it's * recommended that you have RAM more than 128 MB.
