Reduce your Linux memory footprint

A much-touted benefit of Linux is that it is more efficient than Microsoft® Windows®, and will therefore perform better on less than cutting-edge hardware. This performance makes Linux a very attractive upgrade for the many people who have old Windows 98-era boxes still sitting around that are no longer being treated to the latest and greatest software (particularly security patches).

Quite techie this one, but worth a read if Linux on older hardware hasn’t been what you thought it was cracked up to be.
