Ill try it, but I do not have high hopes.

Just by softreseting (CTRL+ALT+DEl or "shutdown -r now" or "reboot") and
selecting "the other" OS. The mouse is Generic COM mouse, connected to COM1
(cua0?).

There is a nice graphic X-Window tool that tells how much is used, and how
much is free.

Ill also noticed that some software does not start (probably because they
run out of memory? -> memory not freed?) if Ive been running Linux for a
while.

As an example Netscape starts if I start it as the first thing I do (in X),
but if I do something else first. Then netscape refuses to start (no
activity, no errors). The same thing happens with StarOffice.

Compared to Win98 on the same system. I cant say Linux is fast, not in X
anyway. But then again I might have some problems with my installation.
