I am sorry, I misinformed you. I have the "deluxe" model, which has 32 |
| 6 |
MB of RAM. |

I guess this is the part I don't understand. As far as I understand it, |
| 13 |
a page of memory exists either in physical RAM, or on a swap device, and |
| 14 |
the only entity who can tell the difference is the kernel. Please |
| 15 |
understand that it's not that I am not listening, it's that I don't |
| 16 |
understand how what you are saying can be true. The interesting thing |
| 17 |
for me at this point would be to find out how a process can fail if it |
| 18 |
is given swap instead of RAM. |

Imagine a person whose life experience tells them the sky is blue, and |
| 21 |
they understand the mechanics of light which cause it to be that way, |
| 22 |
and then they encounter someone who tells them that there is a certain |
| 23 |
place in the world where the sky is orange. It's not that they don't |
| 24 |
believe them, but they sure would like to figure out why that is the |
| 25 |
case, so that they can plug the apparent hole in their knowledge. |
