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... raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Click to receive help removing your credit card debt http://tags.bluebottle.com/fc/CAaCMPJkiZtfANqs3KlhCgMOPdnUqORE/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
