Memory, swap, and limits

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



	Every new computer I've yet had has begun slowing down soon after 
I get it -- probably because I keep several browsers open, with from 
several to many tabs each. I've learned long since to make sure each 
machine has all the memory it can handle from the git-go, before it ever 
reaches my house. And every time I do an install, when I get to 
anaconda's partitioning stage, I try to triple the swap; it always 
refuses.

	Yet the little bar graph that Gnome's System Monitor (2.22.2 on 
the present F9 machine; probably the same on all the rest -- I always 
upgrade early) puts on my panel seldom shows a total of memory and swap 
together much less than 95% in use.

	Otoh, I've never gotten anywhere near filling up a hard drive, 
except once when I had a testbed machine triple booting three different 
distros. So why can't I at least increase the swap space?
