``NetBSD Live!'' Boots Directly Into KDE2
jschauma writes: "A ``NetBSD Live!'' CD, which boots NetBSD/i386 1.5.2
directly from CDROM into KDE, including Koffice, has been made available. This exciting development may be the first step towards 'fancy' graphical installation CDs. Just grab one and carry it around with you, so you never have to boot any other OS! See the announcement on the NetBSD News page, more details are here."
actually i do just that and i DOES increase performance... my win2k box has this nasty habit of needlessly swapping out data for apps suych as premeire even though i have 512 mb of ram... it seems to always want to keep 100 megs free so i set 256 or my ram to be ram disk and i set my default swap to there... i also have another REAL swap just in case i actually DO run out of ram...
