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...
