Hi :-) Was just replying to Ram's message when this idea struck... I wonder how apps like X, GDM, KDE/Gnome, etc would react to insufficient memory problems... Like if before starting these heavy services/apps, if we could limit the physical memory to say... 100 megs on a system then see how do they react. This would probably start giving us an exact minimum requirement that these apps might need. specially, it would be interesting to see how they react to low mem conditions, do they crash or exit gracefully or something else...
