Sounds familiar to me. I have about 1GB ram and yesterday I saw my
hard disk LED was continuously on. When I checked with free, I was
surprised to see some swap space being used. I thought my hard disk or
ram is probably going bad and did not bother to do much research.
Incidentally I was running firefox along with other apps such as
thunderbird. Cannot pin point to firefox but something fishy is going
on if it is not my hardware problem....
I am also using debian sid, running 2.6.7-1-386 and is updated daily.
