You can download the book and see for your self. It is good book if you want to understand the basics on how the vm works. Most of the stuff is still the same, with enhancements, like say addition of a few more flags in structures like struct page and so on. Regards, Ashwin On 2/2/07, Robert P. J.

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.
