Granted I understand that expecting so much from this little machine is really pushing it, it will eventually just be running a small java- based server, that unfortunately requires jdk15. I wouldn't ever choose it on purpose. With a total swap size of roughly 2.5GB still generating failures, is this a lost cause, or should I be looking for additional solutions? Cheers, James
