I nid more RAM ;-) Please, don't get me wrong. There are several light-weight window managers that may work very well on 64MB RAM (and, as people say, they behave closer to traditional Unix than managers that were mentioned above). But if you plan to "surf the web, emails, word processing" in graphical mode, then yes, the more RAM your machine has the better. Or just create a big swap partition, FreeBSD is very good on swapping unused portions of memory to disk. BTW, I am posting this from a machine that has 256 MB RAM and a 4 GB swap partition (but it also has 2 RAM disks that can grow up to 1 GB each). --=20 Dmitry "We live less by imagination than despite it" - Rockwell Kent, "N by E"
