I'm down to less ram in a couple of computers too, for the same reason. I feel the stability is worth it though. memtest86 does not have to find much wrong for GNU Linux to become strange. I had one computer with bad ram that simply would not load RH, but ran MS Windows (almost) flawlessly.I solved the problems, it was a bad DIMM. I got it out now and: - memtest86 is succesfull - disk diagnostics are succesfull - touch /forcefsck reports no more problems - tarring and gzipping works perfectly for all situations
Only problem now is that I have half my RAM ;) Thanks for the help, guys.
