My experience is with the effects of the OOM killer. Perhaps with Linux on a desktop it is ok
Not really, in my experience it's rarely the guilty party that gets clobbered, so the problem can persist for some time, with performance degrading all the while. Not everything on a desktop is critical, and what is important is in the eye of the beholder. I say, be generous with RAM, it's cheap and certainly cheaper than lost time, either of the user or of the person delegated to investigate. -- Cheers John -- spambait [email protected] [email protected] -- Advice http://webfoot.com/advice/email.top.php http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 You cannot reply off-list:-) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
