Hello there, There are discussions going on linuxish kernel maillists with regard to their new 2.4-kernel swap memory usage, which actually seems kinda, uhm, at least strange to me... Anyway, I don't really care, since I use much better OS, FreeBSD :-) and I have a question with regards to FreBSD swap strategy. Say if I have Cel-600 with 128M RAM (rather average these days), and use my box primarily for web programming and design, thus I very likely be having to run XFree86-4, pretty heavy mozilla + netscape (I know netscape sux, but I need to make sure my sites look the same in both browsers) + gimp), and I use windowmaker (it rocks!) as my window manager. I also might have to run apache on that box. So, considering all the above, how much of a swap space do I need? 10x for your answers! -- With all the best regards, -= Alexey Dokuchaev aka DAN Fe =- [Team Assembler] [Team BSD] [Team DooM] [Team Quake] Macintosh: You think it will work, but it doesn't Windows: You think it won't work, and it doesn't Unix: You think it won't work, but if you find the right guru he'll make it work -- Philip Greenspun To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
