You can also edit the /etc/sysctl.conf and at the end of the file, add: vm.swappiness=10 ...requires a reboot again...but that helps ease up on SWAP usage... -- YankDownUnder aka stephen kuhn #mandriva channel op - irc.freenode.net Mandriva Official IRC Support ----------------------------------------------- Registered Linux User # 267497 ----------------------------------------------- "Pseudocode can be used to some extent to aid the maintenance process. However, pseudocode that is highly detailed - approaching the level of detail of the code itself - is not of much use as maintenance documentation. Such detailed documentation has to be maintained almost as much as the code, thus doubling the maintenance burden. Furthermore, since such voluminous pseudocode is too distracting to be kept in the listing itself, it must be kept in a separate folder. The result: Since pseudocode - unlike real code - doesn't have to be maintained, no one will maintain it. It will soon become out of date and everyone will ignore it. (Once, I did an informal survey of 42 shops that used pseudocode. Of those 42, 0 [zero!], found that it had any value as maintenance documentation." --Meilir Page-Jones, "The Practical Guide to Structured Design", Yourdon Press (c) 1988
