The thing is the only way I seem to have enough free memory to run Netscape is to be the only person log-in an account and the only programs running are shown in myproc.txt which is attached. Right now I have 12MBytes of RAM free and am not using the swap but wait maybe 20 min. even if I don't do anything and it'll already be using about 20Meg of my swap. That seems weird because I have my memory cache down to 100Kbytes and disk cache to 1Meg.
