Xorg (on my system) weighs in a 50-70 MB, Mozilla will tip the scales in that range easily as well. Xterm-static comes in at 3-5MB each. If programs get killed because of swap space, more ram will save the day. Or more swap space, but in your case I say more ram. > Is my system just under spec for freebsd 5.x or is something > else wrong? --=-BGb0fbS2WhveBw0EihUA Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBBhVH9fb0Lle2MIEIRArI3AJ9dlrjZ50nYjvabsMEXu6aiCgp9NQCeO5B3 +zVuvs3tVcWRA7xzBSYQ3W0= =Xkkd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-BGb0fbS2WhveBw0EihUA--
