I might buy this if: 1. 32-bit Linux didn't support 64GiB of system memory, which it does 2. Processes used direct-memory addressing, which they don't 3. All kernel structures must reside in <4GiB memory space (maybe true?) 4. The kernel was too stupid to move it's structures when necessary 5. Carl's server was using more than 3.7GiB total memory and dipping int swap (which it isn't) 6. Carl was using 32-bit Linux, which he isn't :( AFAIK, 64-bit Linux has a wide-open memory addressing scheme. Maybe it considers everything under 17 billion GiB to be "low memory", now :) - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAktrU/YACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PCwhgCgqf6BWAYUVBRwY9uiUjqu9dEL /PQAniA/2ds7zqL92HSo3otkOMhPmmqr =APb8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
