I assure you that that is just an impression. I'm running snv_61 on my 1.2GHz Athlon with 896MB of RAM, and pah-lenty of free RAM to spare (roughly 462MB) after I'm logged in and running StarOffice 8, RealPlayer, Firefox and Thunderbird. I am beginning to feel the pain of using a seven year old system as a desktop though; the system is beginning to be "CPU challenged", especially with JDS. JDS is slow. If I didn't have that NVidia graphics accelerator with the drivers to help offload some of the work, it would be unusable. > This is really bad.

What is ridiculous is that one needs 1GB of RAM for a graphical installation. That is really unacceptable, and it's a self-afflicted slap in the face of Solaris engineering.
