No, I haven't. But I still don't understand what the big deal is.
Here is the memory usage on my fully updated ("install everything" and
more) 64-bit FC4 on which I am typing this email:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1020000 464112 555888 0 35580 276324
-/+ buffers/cache: 152208 867792
Swap: 2097144 0 2097144
Used memory minus buffers and cache - 150MB. This is with the normal
(for workstation) services running + sendmail + KDE3.5.
And here is another computer I have at home - totally obsolete RH7.3
on a PIII:
Mem: 126308 119696 6612 0 79992 27252
-/+ buffers/cache: 12452 113856
Swap: 1020088 27752 992336
(it is not doing much at the moment, I grant you, but it looks very
happy with 128MB of RAM).
So, I really don't think that Gentoo has a monopoly on
efficiency. Yosef does not badly at all until he starts Matlab, or so
it seems to me.
