I've been using fossil (http://fossil-scm.org) without swap and it works fine there. The uses we had for the nanonote have a zero intersection I think. :) I used the nanonote mainly: - Having fun preparing a GNU/Linux OS for it: http://vicerveza.homeunix.net/~viric/cgi-bin/nanonixos - Reading News from RSS feeds: http://vicerveza.homeunix.net/~viric/cgi-bin/offrss - Playing prboom. _______________________________________________ Qi Hardware Discussion List Mail to list (members only): [email protected] Subscribe or Unsubscribe: http://lists.en.qi-hardware.com/mailman/listinfo/discussion
