hello 256 MB of ram fills quite easily when using a fossil+venti and when trying new incarnations of upas/fs :), i can't even compile some ports of gnu things ☺. Fortunately this will change in august, as 9grid.es will have 1Gb of memory.
about the unstability, i should disable swap partition to see if that fix something ☺ greetings, gabi PS: sorry for the off-topic non-sad comentary :P
