Since I haven't been on the list for awhile, I thought I would throw a
question in and see what the answer might be. I'm hoping it will be to
my liking...
What is the status with memory management under linux? Right now, I have
80M of physical memory, where 78 of it is being used and my swap isn't
even being touched. So what do you get? You get choppy mp3's while your
running your nice, window manager and running netscape, etc., etc.,
etc.,...It's very annoying....if swap were to be used, I wouldn't have
this problem...it's pretty bad that I can boot into my Winnuts OS and
have no problems, yet, Linux, which I feel is a superior OS, can't even
handle damn memory issues! Is the coding for this issue THAT hard that
we can't get it fixed, and fixed now?
