2.4.16 (as compiled by red hat in rawhide) had a lot of issues for me, so I fell back. I'd have assumed it was VM (may still be) but like I said I've seen it in situations where basically nothing other than system daemons and bash were running, so basically no swapping was taking place.
To clarify: I like RH a lot... I'm certainly not trying to blame them. If it was that irritating, I would have switched back to 7.1 or to Debian. I'm just describing the situation as I see it and trying to defend Ximian against what I see as completely groundless accusations. Luis On Thu, 2001-12-20 at 15:06, Jason A.
