I just installed debian-etch to a slug so I can use it for development. It has the peculiar habit of disconnecting my ssh session when I do work, e.g. compiling, installing packages. Another console that is just used to watch the processes has no problems. I have swap and it doesn't seem to use much more than 1MiB of swap in any case. This is with version 2.6.18.3-ixp4xx of the kernel. Is this something others have seen?
