Open Office has a preloading feature, I decided a while ago that I
didn't like it but I don't remember why. Maybe I will try using it
again. But the point I was trying to make is that the whole OS can
easily fit into less RAM than Windows Vista runs it's shell in (540 MB
on a clean install). If Fedora can run the OS in 256 RAM, it will
absolutely fly. I'd love that, and I'm sure a lot of other people
would as well.
