Nope, it is a desktop, but I have more server type services running than the average desktop user; some of them for the sole purpose of learning. And not all that uptime is real, I hibernate the machine when I go out.
Mine just runs continuous. I turn the monitor off when I go to bed or am going to be away from home for hours. Other than that ......................
I'm no expert but I think a server up time would be "used" different than a "production" computer. Not running fourteen or fifteen different applications, editing/creating large images and doing copying and pasting of large files.
I do that sometimes. It depends on the day. I may have 12 workspaces each filled with different applications. 1 GiB swap in use, and I have 8 GiB ram. Very snappy.
There are some very memory hungry applications. The typical ones are thunderbird and mozilla. Another one is Libreoffice - but surprise, amarok is too.
Firefox and T-Bird run continuous. I might have 20 or 25 pages open in Firefox on any given day. That probably sucks up memory like a vacuum. I noticed it getting a bit sluggish this morning. Doing heavy Gimp usage sucks it up also. All those changes in "memory" to be able to go back to a certain point. That seems to clear real well when you close that image though. Bluefish will just grind to a halt after about a week of heavy use. Have to close it and re-open. There have been times when I had to "terminate" because it just froze on closing. -- “Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former.” -Albert Einstein _ _... ..._ _ _._ ._ ..... ._.. ... .._ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
