Oct 10, 2010 at 19:02 comment added xenoterracide @Stefan yeah I'm not a debian fan either. Just saying that arch isn't designed to be trim filesystem wise.
Oct 6, 2010 at 20:19 comment added Stefan @xeno, Sorry, I missed your comment there.. I used arch because I'm arch fluent, but I tried debian on it first. Worked really well with the laptop, but not my thing...

Sep 15, 2010 at 3:14 comment added xenoterracide @Stefan I'm curious why arch (for this box)? it's not really the trimmest distro... esp given it installs all the header files.
Sep 15, 2010 at 3:13 comment added xenoterracide @Stefan so it is... oops... of you can cd / and run du -sh * and drill down... (you don't really have enough ram to store stuff in it)
Sep 14, 2010 at 22:32 comment added Stefan @xeno, 490MB RAM, and it's du -sh /*?
Sep 14, 2010 at 21:33 comment added xenoterracide @stefan also du -sh / to see where most of your space is being used.
Sep 14, 2010 at 21:31 comment added xenoterracide @Stefan also... if you're willing to go the experimental route... btrfs supposedly supports a compressed file system (or is going to?) maybe check that out
Sep 14, 2010 at 21:24 comment added xenoterracide @Stefan how much RAM does it have? (just wondering if it's feasible to put things like /tmp in ram)
