FWIW I have a patch to do something like this. It even gives you a rdsize=xxx
tunable kernel parameter that lets you specify the size of the tmpfs, which
acts like the -osize= mount flag (so phrases like 100M or 20% works). So doing
things like 'cat /dev/zero > filename' will not run you out
up. I would love to see some work done in this area.

Personally I like the 113 MHz FSB setting, which runs PCI at 37 and memory at
150 (133*1.13). It helps to have memory rated for 150. :) I've had a system
run at this rate for the past 4 months now and I've never had an

2.4... maybe this should be mentioned somewhere in ide.txt, even though
overclocking is frowned upon.

I however suggest strongly that we implement the check for PID == 1 into the

How about we start by everyone in this discussion give their opinion on what
the OOM selection process should do, listing them in both order of importance

peaceful, 'nice' process in the background that wasn't causing any harm.
Why else would you nice a process? Because you don't want it to interfere with

to still

Just some thoughts.
