Some days ago, when i visited Website www.hsecomputers.de and searched at this website for a certain product (asante), the browser didn't load for a long time and then all applications freezed. Only thing I could do was rebooting my linux box.
When I searched for the reasons for this, I found that the browser (mozilla, firefox or netscape) was using more and more memory, until the whole physical and swap memory was used by the browser. Then the OS was unable to react to a user's input.
My question: I didn't find any possibility to limit the memory a single application or a single user can use. I'm sure, a multitasking and multiuser OS has this capability. Can anybody help me?
