I do basically everything with
Emacs/Ratpoison/Conkeror/mplayer.
Irc/Jabber with bitlbee+erc, surfing with Conkeror, Mail+News with gnus,
latex with auctex ...
Nothing brings this machine down like a large or complex pdf.
pdftotext is not really a solution.
I guess I will add some more ram soon.
Funny, I used to say: "Hey, I need to update my machine: Doom 2 is too
slow!" and it made sense. Now, its: "Uh, I need to upgrade, viewing 3
papers at the same time for my theses is too slow?!".
I wish jstor.org offered download as plain text or html, but at least
its not doc :).
