Her netbook has 1GB RAM that could be upgraded to 1.5GB, but I've read that it's a pain. It already runs xfce4, and I've just made these optimizations based on past discussions: 1. CFLAGS="-march=prescott -0s -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ssse3" 2. added elevator=noop as a boot parameter 3. disabled DRI to save 32MB RAM 4. removed the swap partition from /etc/fstab Am I missing anything significant? I've read that it's good to set up /tmp in RAM. How can I do that? In /etc/fstab I have: shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec Is that related? - Grant
