that's just the thing. EVERY linux box i've used (since i discovered 'df') has always registered zero usage of swap. one of my boxes here is running kde2.2, apache, mysql, netatalk, and samba with 128mb ram and there's no swap being used. if the memory is being managed that well, i must say those kernel hackers pretty damn impressive :) _________________________________ daniel a. g. quinn starving programmer never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups - unknown _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
