civileme,
Thanks for the explanation -- very helpful and understandable! Could
you carry it one step further and explain a little more about the use of
swap. When I reboot Linus (Mandrake 7.2) on my system with 128 MB RAM
(and 300 MB swap), initially there is some unused RAM and no swap is
used
Here, here!
This needs an entry in the FAQ's for LM.
This causes so many misconceptions that people normally post the "memory
leak" questions at least once a week.
A "Notes on memory and memory usage" would be in order, starting by
quoting your message verbatim.
