anti,
I did not intentionally put the [Workspace] {1} entry in apps but I guess I'm responsible for it somehow. It's a mystery to me but all is well.

Here are a few RAM test results. Once booted, I used links2 as a timed test program.
Machine: Dell C600 P3 / 1Ghz / swap=1004 MiB

LIVE CD TESTS
48 MB -- no go. Doesn't boot up.

64 MB
205.55 sec to boot
swap used (idle) 8.9 MiB
Links2= 23.64 sec
Very Slow but not altogether unusable (wouldn't want to, though)

80 MB
173.51 sec to boot
swap used (idle) 5.2 MiB
Links2= 7.15 sec
Still slow but usable

96 MB
150.99 sec to boot
swap used (idle) 5.0 MiB
Links2= 4.33 sec
A bit slow but certainly usable

128 MB
139.11 sec to boot
swap used (idle) 68 KiB
Links2= 4.67 sec
Very much usable

256 MB

** 15 to 20 seconds of each boot time was taken up for DHCP Discovery (non-existing on test machine)
