Tuning for very little RAM

[Da Rock]

Its been a while- work's has been keeping me very busy for months now.

I have revived an old laptop which has very little RAM, and it is
absolutely hammering the swap.

I'm trying to set it up as a demo for some skeptics with no money, so I
need email, internet (with plugins), openoffice, acrobat, and wine.

Aside from all that though, for the academics of it how can I help this
situation? The laptop has around 100MB RAM, with 16k free, and has a new
install of FreeBSD 8.0.

Cheers
