Sorry for answering myself here, but things are a little hectic and I
have MS which is eating my brain and I get overloaded with just waking
up sometimes. I don't know why, but Linux motivates me.
I got the GUI parted and checked out the swap info and it says active.
Short time ago, I was playing with the swapiness (sp?) commands and
currently run at 10; which was supposed to give a performance boost.
No go. My box has been getting slower and slower and I even added
3Mbps from my ISP service and I think it is still getting slower. I am
considering wiping the drive and trying Centos or something like it
that sounds a little more stable...I'm getting a little tired. If I
can keep 6 on here or put 7 on also, I'd do it, but I have a hard time
dualbooting with Fedora (Remember Old Man :)). Who knows tomorrow is
another day. A big thanks for the suggestions and manners
corrections...I hate it when others do it and I want to be corrected
when I do it. Thanks and make some OS suggestions please.
