Well you can start linuxconf and go to Control->ControlPanel->Control
Service Activity

IMHO you can then turn off httpd (the apache web server), squid (a caching
proxy server), innd (internet news demon), nfs, smb.....

Doing those should free up a lot of memory...

Well in my RH 6.0 there is a help button in linuxconf but when clicked it
says that the help hasn't been written yet...If you have a newer version
you may have better luck...

BTW The linux documents have a lot of info...
