Re: memory

I'm guessing you are nowhere near maxed out. It says you have 2 empty DIMM slots, and the other 2 slots only have 2 gig DIMMs in them, so I'm guessing that you can probably put bare minimum of double the memory you have now and probably at least 4X times memory you have now if you outright

I've noticed on lower-end systems, that daily cron will peg a system for a bit while that occurs. I had an ancient imac with ubuntu installed that the apt update would hang the system for like a half-hour with an old 400mhz ppc proc, consuming all cpu and memory, then swap and thus disks too.

Most desktops have a number of package related scripts that run in the background that will update your package database, and/or install updates, etc. Since they are working with the package database, apt will lock the database while it is in use. Usually you won't notice these scripts
