Re: Memory (RAM) problems?



This is normal, and done by kernel to keep memory full all the time, so
access time to binaries is less (so your machine works faster). This can
only be a problem on systems with low RAM (I remember having 48M, and
having it all full.....going into swap even when I was just running X
alone). If you don't like it, there are 2 files you can tweak:
/proc/sys/vm/pagecache and /proc/sys/vm/buffermem
Read about them in kernel docs, but with 256M you have nothing to worry
about. Just turn off the swap, and never touch it again.
