Linux-2.2.12 seems to have a pretty bad memory leak somewhere too. I am running
linux-2.2.13-pre4 right now on my home PC just only using pine, seti home, X,
and some other small stuff and the used memory is up to 232 MB and swap is 3 MB.
It is being running since early this morning. What do you think will happen if
this where one of your servers ???

By the way, I would like to upgrade my servers to the 2.2.X kernels for the SMP
stuff but I am waiting for a stable one, which i think will come VSN.

regards, Agustin
