I remember reading something about reducing the number of virtual desktops to free some memory, but I seem to have lost the link to it. Can someone explain?

I highly doubt that reducing the number of workspaces in your desktop environment could affect the memory use significantly (a few kilobytes at best?).
If you want to try it anyway, you'd need to specify which desktop environment you're using (Gnome, KDE or something else?).

I'm relatively sure that he means virtual consoles, which would be done (I think) by editing /etc/inittab .

If you are correct and he is indeed talking about virtual consoles, then the memory occupied by a few additional agetty processes is definitely negligible.

If your questions been solved, please add [solved] to your thread title (edit opening post).
I don't think you can even buy, borrow, or steal machines today with an amount of RAM on which a few bytes makes any difference =p
