Servers are pretty constant in their mem usage, I use about 75%. The workstations sometimes run down to a few megs free (read 'using netscape') and I then turn on a swapfile. But all in all they generally do dandy without swap for days on some, months on others. -d -- "The difference between 'involvement' and 'commitment' is like an eggs-and-ham breakfast: the chicken was 'involved' - the pig was 'committed'."
