why should it clean RAM?
a modern unix system tends to consume ALL memory for caches,
buffers etc. and reuse it if a application needs active memory
wiping memory is snakeoil and if such a tool exists it was developed
from peopole who do not undertsnad how a modern OS works

Maybe in part.. but there are still a lot of things that were seemingly
obsoleted, that still can be developed to their peaks modern ways... It
isn't "snakeoil".. it's "pokin' & punchin' thu envelope" to see if'n
anything good got missed in the stampede... Any ideas how the next
generation OS processes RAM..? Why is there RAM..? Why can't the OS
run its RAM off'n the hd..?
