Not true, I can show you screen shots of my linux box vs windows box.  My
windows is using less ram than linux. Also all extra services can be turned
off in less than 1min, and then you have a screaming box. Please don't give
people false information.

Also Linux uses a lot less ram, windows uses aroudn 64 meg of ram, linux 
doesnt. Windows also runs auto applications who aren't even neccesary.

Ow and sorry for my bad english ;)

Cheers
Edwin
