Evolution: why exactly do you need 89MB when you start yet 898MB now?
Somehow I feel that 4GB of physical memory and 4GB of swap (well.. 2GB used) should be enough to run an email client, web browser, office suite, play some tunes, use a calendar, IRC and IM.
Get a real email client like pine!
(I’m too stupid and stuck in my ways to learn how to use mutt)
It will be all that visualisation to run Windows and Google’s ‘OS’ on top.
