On the problem of RAM shortage:
The small memory howto:
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/mini/Small-Memory/
mentions reducind the number of virtual consoles, as well as some daemons which might be done without.
---------------------------------------------

VCs are a great way to free up memory. Most Linux distributions run about 6 of them out of the box.
 On average running 6 VCs requires about 4MB of memory. Removing a couple of them can free up
a couple MBs of memory.
