That's right.

Yes, it is possible... I'm not an expert guy O8-)

Laptop:
- -compiled kernel:
Memory: 224188k/229312k available (1417k kernel code, 4736k reserved, 514k
data, 96k init, 0k highmem)
- -standard (9.1) kernel:
Memory: 223320k/229312k available (1410k kernel code, 5604k reserved, 1118k
data, 136k init, 0k highmem)
Server:
- -compiled kernel:
Memory: 70880k/73728k available (992k kernel code, 2460k reserved, 365k data,
80k init, 0k highmem)
- -standard (9) kernel:
Memory: 70376k/73728k available (1176k kernel code, 2964k reserved, 444k data,
136k init, 0k highmem)
So the only computer that's saving memory for it's own use is the 2nd one?
8-?
Thanks.
