Getty is known to be memory-hungry. Let's replace it with something lighter, which works in most cases: fgetty On Debian Sarge and up, it is already packaged, so sudo apt-get install fgetty will do the trick. But this is not sufficent for it to be installed instead of getty. You will have to edit /etc/inittab. Warning: this is a very dangerous file to edit, as it may render your system unbootable.
