Re: optimizing my debian
I have run 64MB systems before.
1. Do not use any gnome or kde stuff. sorry, too big!
2. use fluxbox, blacbox, ratpoision for window
manager
3. your ps -ef shows many more processes than mine,
but I do not recognize some of them.
This is what mine shows before I start X
I also see the last time you compiled a kernel was 8
months ago. perhaps an upgrade will help a little.
