True in a sense, but I can use Nscape 4.5 and plenty of apps including
dselect/apt on a Cyrix166 with 32Mb.
No. There's something REALLY weird if Michiel bogs his PIII-500/64Mb
with that...

If you don't use it, it'll be swapped to disk, so that's not really
a solution, just a little band-aid.
Michiel, post some more details here, like kernel version, swap-size,
window/desktop manager etc.
I strongly suspect some hardware/driver problem here.
