Wow. Linux is using magical pixie dust memory now. Is there nothing it
cant do? I bet your 20048x1640 desktop only uses 16k in 24 bit depth too.

Since doubling the RAM that came with this machine from 128M to 256M, swap is hardly ever used[1] and it runs just fine.

[1] When it is, it's generally because I have a large program running that is taking Mega (literally) amounts of RAM - but that is rare.
