[snipped lots of interesting things about fonts and how to save RAM..]

Bill,

thanks for all your comments. Some are already reflected in the web
pages, others will be soon.

In the meantime, I would like to invite you, and everybody else of
course, to share as many "obscure" RAM saving tips as possible (I
refer to things like "because I set the scrollback size high": I would
have never thought of that..)

Another area interesting me is the font server. I know that other
distributions (slackware?) just don't use it, at least as stand-alone
workstations. Can we port RH to do the same? How?

Any feedback appreciated

	Ciao,
