I have 512M RAM
btw gl-117 (sdl flight sim) failed to start just my previous post in this thread - Segmentation fault (SDL parachute deployed)
since then, my whole system behaves very strange:
1)mozilla completely ignores default and page character codings and displays all pages using Western (ISO-8859-1) :(
2)there is noticeable delay between the event and the sound associated with this event (both in games and gnome)
3)totem hangs every time i start it
probably there are more issues, i just haven't noticed them
actually all this wierdo stuff started after i installed alsa
i really consider to reinstal whole system tomorrow if i won't find any solution.

does it uses swap space for accelerating everything too?? because now it has "eaten" all avilable memory and starts to "eat" swap space. Until this i've never seen anything in my swap partition, now there are 44M.
just wondering if there is a way to see how much each program uses memory
How much RAM do you have? if its less than about 256MB I would expect it to use a fair chunk of swap space..
To see what is using the memory you can use "top" and sort it by memory usage or look at the output from "ps -aux"

After reboot system monitor shows i have more that 50% memory free, but the amount of memory used is slowly rising and now it's 4h after reboot and i have 100% memory used :(Yes, everyone will have this issue.. If their system is working properly anyway.. :)
Probably this is caused by some apps i use (possible candidates are xmms and xchat), is there some way to check it?
I wonder if someone else have such issues.
As has been said many times before, linux makes use of all availible memory for caching which makes things run faster..
