Hi ng
I'm wondring wath up with the memory use in 7.1
I'm using the std. kernel 2.4.0-4G KDE 2.0.1 right out of the box, and my system is extremly slow, i found out that all my mem is in use, why is my sys so slow, with 6.4 all was ok and runs fair, but now the start of apps is very slow and my sys hangs from time to time, so i have to wait for a minut before i can go on.
Sys spec. P-III 450 256 MB ram aic7xxx ctrl. tree scsi drive on the 68pins and cdr+cdrom+dvd on the 50pins. asus mob. p2b-ls
I'm running the 7.1 on a P200 with 96 MB RAM, and it's doing fine... but I would recommend upgrading to the latest 2.4 kernel (the first had a number of problems), I believe it's 2.4.2.
form free i get <snip> total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 255120 241384 13736 0 2876 133656 -/+buffers/cache :104852 150268 Swap: 530096 2692 527404 <snip>
Concerning your memory, free says that it has 133656 cached, so that's actually free memory, but it's temporarily used to speed up your box... so you have 255120 total and 150 MB free, that seems all right...
Do i have to make a new kernel or is it KDE2 ? the respons time of the sys is driving me insane, almost so mutch that im gonna install 6.4 again. but i like the new futurs in KDE2 :-(
Any adwise ?
