Summary: We study texture projection based on a four region subdivision: magnification, minification, and two mixed regions. We propose improved versions of existing techniques by providing exact filtering methods which reduce both aliasing and overblurring, especially in the mixed regions. We further present a novel texture mapping algorithm called FAST (footprint area sampled texturing), which not only delivers high quality, but also is efficient. By utilizing coherence between neighboring pixels, performing prefiltering, and applying an area sampling scheme, we guarantee a minimum number of samples sufficient for effective antialiasing. Unlike existing methods (e.g., MlP-map, Feline), our method adapts the sampling rate in each chosen MlP-map level separately to avoid undersampling in the lower level l for effective antialiasing and to avoid oversampling in the higher level l+1 for efficiency. Our method has been shown to deliver superior image quality to Feline and other methods while retaining the same efficiency. We also provide implementation trade offs to apply a variable degree of accuracy versus speed.

An oldie.. but felt like putting it up here again.... for mah ref :)
Step 1: Choose the right desktop environment
Step 2: Choose appropriate apps
- choose from the various browsers, doc processors, etc
Step 3: Remove unwanted services and settings
Oh! yes -very important!
esp all d faltu daemons :P
Step 4: Have appropriate expectations :D
have pity on your older hardware :P
Step 5: Optimize your system
Yo! v imp
All details on Reduce your Linux memory footprint
Rest of d stuff goes on yummy... and avail on request :P :D
