Re: [newbie] Problems with RAM memory
Use the kernel-enterprise package instead of the standard kernel. As its name suggests, it is designed with more powerful systems -- such as yours -- in mind.

Cheers, Miark Miarkyep, those problems both make sense given that they are both problems of other 2.4.3 kernels than our release 2.4.3-20mdk kernel which didn't have those two. Thanks.

RE: [newbie] Problems with RAM memory
wait, that cant be right. linux runs big honkin servers that use a MINIMUM of 4 GB of memory. I'm researching this, but I wanted to chime in for the meantime.
