Install base system and latest stable kernel for your CPU type.
Build X modularly and remove the drivers that you don't need.
Install only the applications that you need and a few that you want. Use those that have the least meory requirements.
Set swap to this rule: Less than 128M RAM- 256M.
128 to 256M- 2x physical
512M to 1024M RAM- physical ram size.
1024M and more:512 will do unless you are doing rendering then I say to use ram size as the rule.
Ah yes Linux ... the OS built for people too tight to buy decent up-to-date kit LOL.
