In the frozen tundra of the Northeast US (New England) I can only max
out my machine at 2GB ram (DDR Pentium 4).  Running LXDE + Terminology
w/ 10k scroll buffer + chromium-browser (or bsu when i'm bored) + tmux
+ vim = heavy swappage. >:|
I'm thinking about switching my desktop environment to Ratpoison so I
can stay in hard memory.  Either that or shit-can Terminology for
lxterminal.

Don't get me wrong, I love e17 and Terminology but it's too expensive
for me to run at the moment (wallet + memory wise).  I miss the good
ole' days of e16 with gkrellm.  My GPU was more expensive than my rig.
 (VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation NV35 [GeForce FX 5900]
(rev a1)) -- woooh doggy.

Anyway, keep up the fantastic coding.  Love you guys and everything
you stand for.

Shawn
