Last week I went to the future and I've seen Linux 7.6 running on a pentium 54 with +/- 6 TB RAM, but there are patches available for very low memory usage (< 50GB RAM) and ancient CPU's (aything older then a P20), so theoreticly speaking, it's possible to run it on a P3 |

Ignore me...

that was a "I'm running linux 8" joke, a poor joke, but still a joke ;)

Iceman47,
Sorry... I may even have to report myself to DavidPhillips/trickykid for launching to a rant before reading/understanding the post full. :( Jamie... |
Only a small minority's seen you post and I bet no one's taken a screenshot so there's no evidence whatsoever.
No need to report yourself :) |
Ganesh -
Try running 'top' from a terminal window (or gtop or another graphical version, if you have one) to see what's eating up the CPU. 100% CPU utilization isn't really too much to worry about - thanks to the way Linux manages processes, everything has a priority, so it's quite easy to have something using 100% of the CPU, but not affecting performance in any way. It's all about priority. Sometimes things will run on their own (filesystem management and stuff) while you're not doing anything else. As long as your computer is on, it might as well be doing stuff, right? :) However, if it's actually affecting performance, then it may be something worth looking into. |
thanks wapcaplet,
I will just look into that |
ok, i dont understand why people post and then completely ignore the responses. You posted complaining about 100% cpu usage and what you should do. Within 10 minutes you had a reply instructing you to post a ps.
Your pc should NOT be running 100% 24/7. at idle my pc is at 0%, 100% is for when you are compiling, cruching, gaming, etc. Not just when idling. |
