Yea! ME TOO! After the 6.1 install, I noticed my swap file at one point
was 25% utilized!
WHAT? My swap file NEVER got touched before! I have a 128 Meg of ram
and I had Netscape open,
netscape mail, Gnomeicu, KRN ( kde's news reader ) and x-chat..
25% swap usage? I too noticed this ld-linux.so.2 and didn't know what
it was.
Killed it, Netscape died..
There's got to be something wrong with this situation.. I mean, even
WINDOWS doesn't use that much ram ( or
maybe close! )..
I too notice this file grows in size as the evening rolls on.. If
anyone's got a better way, I sure would like to
hear about it!
