Saturday, August 19, 2000 Fat software! I wrote a script tonight to add up all the memory used by the usual processes running on Sparky: /usr/ucb/ps aux | awk '{tot += $4} END {print tot}' It reported about 95%. I have 128M of RAM. This seems to suck. Netscape takes 25% all by itself. Time for more RAM? posted by Mike Thomas 8/19/2000 10:15:04 PM Tuesday, August 15, 2000 A good Solaris resource: SolarisGuide.com: The Unofficial Guide to the Sun Solaris Operating Environment. posted by Mike Thomas 8/15/2000 07:28:35 AM Monday, August 14, 2000 Sparky now has room to breath! He's got 64M more RAM, which makes for a total of 128M. That should hold him for a while. The install was painless, except for the weird order in which you're supposed to fill DRAM slots on a Sun.
