I have 1Gb ram and Etch still uses swap space (for god knows what).

$free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          1011        982         29          0        133        155
-/+ buffers/cache:        694        317
Swap:          953        103        849

I run everything from vnc. Most of my applications are memory hungry : KDE, 
firefox, thunderbird etc., But this should not result in using swap space 
continuously. When I reboot the computer everything looks fine. It uses about 
300 MB in the initial stages. After some days (say 5-10) it starts using swap 
continuously.

Besides being memory hungry, KDE applications spit out all sorts of errors 
both on the konsole terminal and in .xsession-errors. Wonder if etch has been 
tested as much as it should be...
