[Tilesathome] t at h with 512M RAM

[Marton Kadar]

I use Ubuntu also on a laptop with 512M memory.
I wrote a pair of little scripts. (tahon.sh and tahoff.sh)

When I walk away from the machine, I log off from the
Gnome desktop, then Ctrl-Alt-F1, log on in the text console,
and start tahon.sh. It turns off X and some unimportant
services and swapping, and then it starts the t at h client.

When I come back, I start tahoff.sh, and it activates the
swap space, and starts gdm again, and I can log on and do
regular stuff.

When I get back, I sometimes see some messages about
a few OOM-killed inkscapes, but on other days I don't.

I'll never catch up with jth or milenko 8-) but it still is
great fun to participate in t at h and render some ridiculously
simple seashore tiles!
