No problem ever with pure FreeBSD in Ah. 8 MB is difficult. Even if you can use X I doubt you can run Sketch. I've used X on linux on a 486 with 8 MB, perhaps 3 years ago, I don't think it crashed for the sort of things I was doing but it was *slow*. > Thanks, will do.

It's 45 K in size, which I think is reasonable for this kind of stuff, but maybe hand-written postscript could be much reduced. Do you know anything about svg (scalable vector graphics)? I tried exporting it in that format too, but when I load it again all the areas with colour gradients come out black. I don't know whether this is a bug in sketch, or svg only supports flat colours.
