Re: Multia 5.2 Out of Memory

[Dave Beck <dave arginine umdnj edu>]

I have 64mb in all my udb boxen.  They all netboot and use nfs root filesystems.
I routinely compile kernels and other software while running X.  Occasionally they
hit swap during such a session, but for the most part, they are swap free and 
perform rather well for being completely diskless.
