@drum: the Boner is no-X bare necessities shit, so indeed, not many resources used from the base install. of course i added stuff to it. with iceweasel open (5 tabs) it is now using 351MB (Openbox, Conky, Tint2)

the 'downside' of going this bloat-free from the start is that with every single application you want to install you start to worry: wtf 3MB? that is way too much man! i'll think of something else instead!
haha it is so non-sensical, but fun nonetheless. now i use mplayer constantly instead of vlc, because vlc adds GUI bloat. but the day will come when i will install Libreoffice because i like it so much, and i already know how bloated it is, and my system will feel so heavy all of a sudden :)
