It's already swapping to disk. I have not run anything beyond phpinfo() . MySql is running but I have run no SQL Booting into gnome - top reports 7M RAM free and 52M swap used. Gnome on top of xubuntu & LAMP added seems a little slower than Xfce, but not much even with FireFox running. Changing to Xfce - top reports swap used 52M & 38M of Free RAM. It still is much faster than the OEM version of xp-home. By Far! And more fun :) Darrin Chandler wrote: On Tue, Feb 13, 2007 at 09:36:32AM -0800, keith smith wrote: > What do you know about CentOS running on a 1g celery 256M RAM WIFI laptop?
