kernel eats alot of memory
First time I left this new installation running for about 6 days
without rebooting, I notice two things though
Thing1! after using and quitting X11 I would expect all memory
that was being used by those hungry processes to be freed but it
looks like this :
Mem: 127216K av, 117296K used, 9920K free, 21988K shrd, 48440K buff
Swap: 128516K av, 56K used, 128460K free 52552K cached
Q:
Don't you think this is a lot of memory being used when I'm not
running X11 ?
So I'm afraid to compile a kernel right now, and thinking of
rebooting the system...
The other thing is my clock got screwed up, I didn't have that
problem before, thus here's the next :
Q:
Could there be any relation between the system being up for
such and such time, and the clock getting behind the actual time?
Your advice is being greatly appreciated and used here, thanks...
