It's not quite that bad. I was able to do a succesful install of f20 (games
spin which is based on XFCE) on a laptop with 500 MiB of memory. Gnome also
needs a more powerful video card than some other desktops. So while I
agree that Fedora isn't the best distro for low resource machines, there
is still an area where it is usable on the lighter weight desktops, but
not gnome.
