Out of curiosity, I pared down nearly everything from my Gentoo VMware Gues= t.

`free -m` directly after booting + login:

Mem:
=A0total 499
=A0used 28
=A0free 470
=A0shared 0
=A0buffers 1
=A0cached 12

Granted, system is quite possibly unusable for serious purposes,
although I can still login (console & ssh) and do `emerge --sync`

But still, I'm amazed at how low Gentoo can go :-)

Well done, Gentoo team!

Rgds,
