Hi all,
I've just installed a fresh debian on an old IBM ThinkPad A21e (see cpuz
info in attachement) and I'm kinda bedazzled - in the wrong sense! - at how
much an idle system seems to hog RAM : out of 256, half of it is always
used...
I've tried a default Ubuntu and Xubuntu install, but browsing the Internet
was a sluggish nightmare, that is why I've decided to give it a go with
debian, installing the base system and laptop pack only (added
openssh-server after reboot). I'll attach a stripped log about memory info,
if anybody as any ideas or hints about what's going on it would be really
appreciated!
Tanks
