streamlining for eee pc

[James Takac]

Hi Guys

Got my eee pc 4g yesterday and have installed gutsy Gibbon without a hitch and 
been thru all the things in the tutorials to minimize disk writes, etc. Just 
wondering if anyoneone else knows what I might ditch program ways to free up 
some more space. Also since I hope to do some c++ programming on it would I 
be better off just using gcc thru a make utility and forget about a gui like 
kdevelop?
