Consider these memory requirements for Fedora Core 2, as specified by Red Hat: Minimum for graphical: 192MB and Recommended for graphical: 256MB Does that sound any alarm bells with you? 192MB minimum? I've been running Linux for five years (and am a huge supporter), and have plenty of experience with Windows, Mac OS X and others. And those numbers are shocking -- severely so. No other general-purpose OS in existence has such high requirements. Linux is getting very fat.

Any tips people have for optimizing linux (and I mean the platform and all that entails not the kernel).
I don't think saying go the gentoo way because I was excited about that but I've read many comparions where a gentoo distro was any faster than many other popular distros.
So any tweaks anyone knows of post em.
