[techtalk] linux memory usage
I missed the responses to Beverly's question (2 Jun 2000, techtalk digest, Vol 1, #87) about Linux memory usage. We keep struggling with this in our organization. I know that Linux doesn't automatically add memory back to the free list, but keeps stuff in buffer and cache. It then is supposed to free up buffer & cache when new programs start up. However, we have observed that instead, it just acts as if there is no memory available, and doesn't free up buffer/cache allocated memory when new programs are started. We're using RedHat 5.2, kernel 2.0.36. We haven't checked to see if behaviour is better with RH 6.2 yet (we're in the middle of a project and doing system/application upgrades only as required for that project).

[techtalk] KDE on Debian
What do I need to do (what packages to apt-get, files to change...) to get KDE running on Debian? - Kathy ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk

Kath, [EMAIL PROTECTED] said: > What do I need to do (what packages to apt-get, files to > change...) to get KDE > running on Debian? AFAIK, debian does not distribute KDE because of license issues. There's a list of unofficial apt-sources at http://www.internatif.org/bortzmeyer/debian/apt-sources/ and there's a few for kde: deb http://kde.tdyc.com/ slink kde kde2 contrib rkrusty deb http://kde.tdyc.com/ potato kde kde2 contrib rkrusty pick one of these (depending on whether you're running slink or potato) and stick it in the apt sources file (/etc/apt/sources.list i think (I'm not at a debian box at the moment, if that's not it, it'll probably be in the apt or apt-get manpage). After that, you should be able to apt-get kde packages. There's probably a list somewhere at http://kde.tdyc.com/. There's probably something like kdebase or kdecore to start with. Disclaimer: I haven't tried it, but this seems to be the canonical answer on the debian mailing lists. ___ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk

We're using RedHat 5.2, kernel > 2.0.36. So, do you start swapping when there is a ton of memory in buffer/cache? If so, that's a bug. I would try a newer kernel. 2.0.36 is pretty old, and there's been a lot of work done on the vm system since then.
