Hrm.  Solaris leaves a lot of crap enabled in the default install, which sucks
resources and can slow things down.  I'm sure they're useful for some people,
but a lot can be trimmed.  I have a Sparc5 at home that runs fine with 32mb of
RAM - I'm actually writing this email on it, ssh'ed in remoted from work.
However, I will admit that I won't be running X on this box until I get at
least 64Mb RAM.
