I have 1.5 GB of ram in this system that will be a Linux Terminal Server (but using Debian & VNC). There's 600MB+ anonymous memory, 600MB+ slab cache, and 100MB page cache. That's after turning off swap (it was 400MB into swap at the time).

Similar issue here; I ran out of filp's/whatever shortly after booting.

So Nick Piggin's VM patches won't help with this?
