When I currently look at the process tab in Ksysmon the swap is zero.
I've got 768MB RAM in the system. It's old and a bit slow, but it runs
opensuse and I have to say that I am thrilled to have it running, since
the first time I tried to install it I couldn't get it to get up and go.
I don't have a lot of money to build a new system right now and I'm just
trying to keep this system running as long and as efficiently as I can
for the time it has left. I don't do much serious work on it and I hope
to start learning about programming and server management.
Damn I really like this operating system! Beats the H E double hockey
sticks out of Windows any day of the week!
Cheers,
Dwain
