Heh, just for fun I have installed Manjaro net 32 bit edition
(500MBCD) in VM without PAE support. In 15 minutes I got it up and
running with XFCE desktop. With X and desktop it takes only 150mb of
RAM ;)
But you have to install from text based installer which lefts you on
command line and from there install desktop and needed software ;)
You also have to install prefered DM or edit .xinitrc and startx ...
All in all it will work hazily on some old junk with 256mb of ram from
15 years ago without any problem ;)
