Quick question: I've got an older notebook with 384MB RAM (max'ed out) but it has a MMC/SD Card reader built-in. If I dropped a 1 or 2GB MMC/SD Card in the slot could I tell Windows (or Linux) to move the swap file to that? Would that speed things up and increase battery life...?
FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux guys are idiots... so is Steve @ Microsoft... only Steve @ Apple gets it and then only by accident. Nobody cares about a fancy GUI or even legacy apps... to re-phrase Steve @ MS... it's DRIVERS, DRIVERS, DRIVERS, DRIVERS!
If it won't work with your hardware, you won't use it. The entire open source community should switch gears and focus on nothing but DRIVERS for a whole year... then Jan 1st, Microsoft would shut it's doors. Done.
