GNOME or KDE which one takes less resources in Backtrack v5??

[jayadratha]

First off all I'm using Back Track KDE on my Desktop. But now I want to use backtrack on my acer aspire v5-121. You know this is weak on resources. So tell me which environment will take less resources in backtrack??
As per I know KDE & GNOME are there in backtrack v5.

Backtrack is depreciated. "Kali" is its successor. Highly suggest using Kali instead of old backtrack. http://www.kali.org/

KDE and GNOME are roughly equivalent in terms of resources used, neither are light. Use LXDE or XFCE dekstops instead.

Yes. Kali is the new/rebranded Backtrack.

This link will guide you to get LXDE or XFCE version:

Kali Linux is the new generation of the industry-leading BackTrack Linux penetration testing and security auditing Linux distribution. Kali Linux is a complete re-build of BackTrack from the ground up, adhering completely to Debian development standards.

None of those use exactly less specs, either way i would choose gnome,since that`s my favorite interface.
