At this moment I am recompiling the kernel (for the third times this
week :-( due to a problem with X not starting) and the swap has already
been used by the system even when my computer has 512Mb ram (aroound
350Mb free acording to gkrellm). No database, no Apache, no PHP. Only
Evolution, Galeon, Konsole and gkrellm under KDE.
