Now that another - yourself - is also having these problems, it may be a bigger issue. With a very distant memory of life under the control of Micros**t Windows, putting more in to consume increasing amounts of RAM, I have a slight, and perhaps wrong, view that perhaps we are getting better and it is my old computer. However, you, as I, could run top and shut down some memory-consuming programs. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
