The keyphrase here is "different times". Since you don't play games and work at the same time, then you can swap out the unnecessary programs. They'll be swapped in later when you return. Just make sure you have enough swap. Principle of locality, remember? Actually X itself doesn't take that much memory. KDE uses as much memory as a number of X servers. It seems to take much memory because it shares memory with many programs. But that momery should be accounted for by the X clients. -- Tzafrir Cohen | New signature for new address and | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | new homepage | a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | best ICQ# 16849755 | Space reserved for other protocols | friend ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
