This is interesting thing. Is it anyhow possible to make X using ram less
so that there would be more left fot SO?
I'm using wmaker and having as well only 32 mega ram... and SO takes about
one minute to load... in my case as well...
Is it possible to make it using swap more effectively? I've got 60 mega
swap.
