I would only worry about the swap if like what was happening to you before; slowing down. You fixed that though. I have 512MB of Ram and 500Meg swap and it is hardly used either. I am not going to worry about it unless stuff starts going slow. Right now I have mozilla, kmail, gkrellm, konqueror, foldingathome and two terminals going and this is top:
Mem: 514248k total, 364768k used, 149480k free, 45240k buffers Swap: 489940k total, 0k used, 489940k free, 142756k cached Dave On Wednesday 04 June 2003 04:09 pm, Carlos C.
