Learn to build distributions appropriate to the hardware available? There's no earthly reason that anything the 5910 is capable of should need more RAM than you have available. If you want to run GNOME or something on it, you're going to have a horrible shock when you find out how badly it runs X11, never mind the other stuff that's involved.

While I'd agree that the hardware isn't really up to running GNOME, there's omap hardware out there that's running X11 on unaccelerated framebuffers without too much misery. What's the issue with it on the E3?
