I run KDE on my C610.  It's OK, but will get kind of sluggish when several
compiles are going on at the same time.  (I imagine any other window system
would be sluggish in similar circumstances. ;-)

It does use a lot of memory -- my system generally runs ~30MB used (out of
68MB available).  I haven't looked to see how much disk space it takes, but
I would think 200MB should be plenty.

Faith is the quality that enables you to eat blackberry jam on a picnic

Contrary to popular belief, Unix is user friendly.  
It just happens to be selective about who it makes friends with.
