- Decrease the number of running daemons to the bare minimum
(i.e. chkconfig httpd off, chkconfig foo off, etc, etc)
- grab a minimalist theme for KDE that uses fewer pixmaps & etc to
reduce memory usage
Otherwise, the usual mantra applies : More RAM, less KDE/GNOME (they are pretty
memory intensive). The box shoudl run, but I doubt it'll run too much better
with KDE unless it gets 128M+ of RAM..
