I'm using RH 6.0 with XFree86 4.0 and also have 256MB of RAM and 512MB
of swap. I'm also running GNOME. What would this resource problem be?
rdesktop needs all its data to be in physical memory at all times or
something? I haven't ever seen this problem with X or any other
application on this system.

Thanks again,
Eric
