Alle, I'm running RH8 2.4.18-24.8.0 and using VMWare 3.2. I've installed WIN2K as the quest OS. When I startup to box and login to linux, memory consumption is at about 36%: total: used: free: shared: buffers: cached: Mem: 1055244288 386134016 669110272 0 35733504 182738944 After starting VMWare and logging in to W2K - 89% (512MB reserved memory set for VMWare): total: used: free: shared: buffers: cached: Mem: 1055244288 921579520 133664768 0 12247040 715030528 After shutdown of W2K and then VMWare - 60%: total: used: free: shared: buffers: cached: Mem: 1055244288 624025600 431218688 0 11948032 428929024 Has anyone seen this? Is it a VMWare problem or an RH8 problem? Desktop makes no difference, KDE, GNOME and WMAKER behave the same. Anyone have any suggestions? -- Best Regards, Camron Camron W.
