Yes I would and I have. I would much rather httpd get hit by the OOM killer when I can still login and restart it (or puppet/cfengine can restart it) than to have the whole thing lock up or thrash swap to death. With the price/performance difference between disk and RAM being so huge I just buy enough RAM that I don't worry about swap. -- Tracy Reed http://tracyreed.org
