this is the output
i am using redhat linux 9.0
"I know Red Hat has a lot of standard daemons
(PCMCIA,
ISDN, etc) that are started by default - have you
used
chkconfig or redhat-config-services to shut off
unneded services?" as u said...how to do this. i am
intrested in closing these services
thanks again
Easiest way to do this is to start an xterm, su to
root, and type
"redhat-config-services &". That will give you a
GUI to select the
services you wish to run. Depending on how much you
selected when
installing, it could be quite a bit.
Runlevel 3 is the Red Hat standard for booting into
command-line mode,
and runlevel 5 is the standard graphical login
level.
The only critical services controlled by this are
network, syslog,
xinetd, and nfslock (if you are using NFS). Do not
disable those unless
you know what you're doing it for. iptables is the
firewall control
(only disable if you are in a very well protected
network).
do u know any document to know all this?
Most everything else can be turned off.

128 MB RAM is marginal for using KDE or Gnome on
RH9. You can do it
(that's all I had on my first Linux box) but it's a
pig.
You've got almost 70 MB in swap - over 30% of your
total process
memory. BTW - what kind of computer is it? If it's
not some oddball
hardware, your best solution is some RAM. 256 MB is
enough to make X happy.
no X takes more than 70 % of memory with a system with
512 Mb of RAM i had seen that
and also as calculated it shows tyhat system uses
around 99Mb of RAM but it says only 2Mb is free? what
else is using that memory?
thanks

Dear Ankit:
I am not sure what your goal is.
Is it to increase available RAM by 'tuning' your system,
rather than by installing more RAM memory?
I think that 'top' will display running programs and
sort them by the memory they consume
(or try to comsume).
What programs or services are installed in your setup
and how much memory are they consuming?
You probably need look no futher than the 'top ten'.
