Could you setup the box to log to another machine using syslog-over-TCP? This'd tell you if/when the kernel goes nuts. Also, recent 2.4 kernels (at least) start nuking things when memory gets tight. That said, 32MB should be enough to run an X server...that's more RAM than most Unix workstations wuold have had 15 years ago. I *think* it's possible to run swap over NFS or such, but I'd say it'd be pretty hacky, at best :) -- Rob Weir <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ertius.org/
