Hello,
I would like your help with the following scenario: I need to make my Ubuntu use as less ram as possible so that I can run a game server on it.
What I thought would be a good starting point was to install LXDE along with Gnome 3 on my Ubuntu 11.10 (I have removed unity).
The thing is that I believe the memory usage is still too high. The system uses ~450MB of ram without any application running. So I was wondering whether there are any services that are not needed for LXDE (maybe some kind of services that are only useful for Gnome) or whether there is another way to make ubuntu use even less memory.
Thanks in advance,
Sakis
