Yeah, I told him that now, in a mail I just noticed I forgot to copy the gentoo |

list address into. gmail does NOT cooperate with mailing lists, *sigh* |

(Incidentally, I used the dd as a test on my own computer (384mb of |

mem) to see when it would start swapping out processes, in case you |

wondered why I suggested doing that) |

That seems sensical. I know very little about the details of swapping, |

but I have swappiness as well (currenly running gentoo with, err, with |

However, from a quick google I think it might be a 2.6 feature; he |
| 22 |
runs a 2.4 kernel. |
