online, you can find the book "understanding the linux virtual memory manager" by mel gorman: http://www.phptr.com/promotions/promotion.asp?promo=1484&redir=1&rl=1 can anyone comment on how relevant it still is? it was published in 2004, concurrent with the impending release of 2.6.0, so a lot's happened since then. i'm just curious as to the current value of the information in that book. thanks. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
