Hi, On every megabyte in swapspace, how much does it take the space in the memory (RAM)? Is the two times the amount of memory rule basically the maximum? Problem is, I keep getting "Out of socket memory" error, and usually the system crashes (I installed lkcd, though) in less than a week. I h

I used to do tech support for Microport System V/AT. It was Unix System V ported to 80286 IBM AT's. When I started work there, Microport had swapping. A program would be read into memory in its entirety, or it would be disk resident. It wasn't paged. A program's memory was swapped out to d
