Will this ramdisk come out of your 512MB, or from a card? If the former, then I would definitely keep things as slim as possible, to the extent that I would not install X at all, and use text mode email and browsers (links, pine, etc). In any case, you will want a small footprint. For a window manager I would choose Blackbox or Windowmaker. For email and browser, I would choose Mozilla since it combines the two into one app. Galeon is small, but it requires a lot of GNOME backend, so It may end up using as much resources as Mozilla. I have no idea about GPS software. David To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
