Hola, I have a machine with 16GB RAM and not heavily used. I see from `top` some things that I do not understand well. Why would a system use swap when memory is idle? Output of top shown below: last pid: 2272; load averages: 0.07, 0.19, 0.17 up 26+12:09:26 10:49:04 155 processes: 1 running, 154 sleeping CPU: 0.1% user, 0.0% nice, 0.0% system, 0.0% interrupt, 99.9% idle Mem: 799M Active, 6262M Inact, 4964M Laundry, 2465M Wired, 1492M Buf, 1564M Free Swap: 3598M Total, 3530M Used, 67M Free, 98% Inuse -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254 7 3200 0004/+254 7 2274 3223 "Oh, the cruft.", grep ^[^#] :-)
