Mike,
I'm using an S3 clone 4meg video card with the Metroess S3 server.  Sometimes I
do use XF86free, but less often.  There might be a slightly newer version of the
server, but I haven't felt the need to upgrade it yet.

BTW I was not reading the output from free -m correctly:

		  total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
    Mem:            61         60          1         25         29         13
    -/+ buffers:               17         43
    Swap:           16          0         16

got this message from another Linuxer:

"The Linux kernel doesn't free memory in the way you might expect.
It uses free space as cache and buffers.
In the "+/- buffers" line you see the amount of memory that is
actually unavailable because it's used by processes. "Free" means
that it is not used by anything, while "free +/- buffers" means
that it is available."

I should probably be watching the -/+ buffers line more closely.  That's the one that
counts.  The free -m output above is with my PC running only XF86Free, Netscape, and
a few xterms.  Output is in megs.  Notice that I have some 43megs free. That's
what I would have expected.  I used to have 32 megs and my drive would only run when
running many apps.

If you are looking for a directory of companies that sell memory and their
prices, check out http://www.pricefinder.com/
Seems like $40/ 32megs EDO is the best price right now.  The cost of memory now
is cheap compared to the total cost of a system, yet makes a big difference
when it comes to the performance of a Linux system.

Hey, has anyone fought with f77 compilation under Linux?  The readme I have is
not meant for the RPM system that I am running.  I can't find the information
I need to get f77 to work.  Actually, I am stuck at the part about re-compiling
gcc to work with the f2c libs.  

If you ever have ANY problems with your LINUX system, it's probably somehow linked to
Bill Gates. ;P

Rock on,
