Hi Oscar, It depends on how you manage your user directory manually (ie, via DIRECTXA) or a tool such as DIRMAINT or other. Tell us which technique you use and someone will provide the details. Rob - Original Message - From: Almendarez, Oscar [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL

Rob is 100% right with his explanation. I just want to add some explanation/detail for those interrested: Linux does use all its available memory in the most reasonable way (tm). Uhm... yea, it tries to. The mechanism used for this is implemented in its memory management. All pages that are not
