Hi Dietmar,
I'm guessing you are referring to my comment I made earlier. I should have
explained myself. I used to be an NT fan. Then I discovered Linux. I like
Linux because I don't *ever* need to reboot my machine for anything other than
kernel upgrades (not even power outages now that I have my UPS). With NT I was
rebooting it every other day because something would get screwed up and the
only way I new I could fix it was to reboot. I wasn't suggesting that anyone
who reboots their machine frequently is an NT-head. I agree with you that if
there is a process that is not returning memory it will indeed eat up RAM,
thereby wasting it. The solution in that case would be to reboot. Fortunately
I don't have to deal with any programs like that and my middle-class Intel
workstation works just great for me. I use my machine about 10 hours a day, in
X and KDE the whole time while running two RC5 clients on my dual PPro 180.
I meant no offense.
Cheers,
