It has on every machine I have regardless of how much memory it has or uses. It may take a little bit and it may be just a 1MB or so but it always seems to use a little.

It's not much but it is using a little bit. Thing is, I still have a 147MBs of memory that is not in use at all. Go figure. Dale :-) :-) :-) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
