People often worry when they see persistently high memory utilization on Linux systems. They fear they're running out of memory, when in fact free memory is wasted memory. Most of the time on most desktop Linux systems with a reasonable margin of RAM, a good bit of the "used" RAM is just cached disk contents that can be reused (without requiring disk I/O) if needed or discarded and reassigned to a different use at no cost. You _want_ to see high overall utilization. It means Linux is making the most of the physical RAM you have. As to any differences between Ubuntu and openSUSE, I have no idea. It probably just reflects a different pattern of system usage. > ... Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
