How much RAM?

My personal choice, even for faster machines is LXDE. It might seem a 
bit spartan, especially if you compare with Gnome or KDE, but it is also 
lightning fast, and all basic functionality is there.

Depending on your choice of applications you might also consider LXQt 
(based on Qt instead of GTK).

For machines with limited RAM it's probably best if you keep the number 
of toolkits in use at a minimum. 

(it's probably a good idea for live systems as well, unless you have 
enough RAM to boot with 'toram', if that option still exists and does 
what I remember it did)

Kind regards,
Andrei
