Just out of curiosity, is there a way to clear RAM without rebooting on openSUSE 12.3?
I haven't had any issues yet, but I prefer hibernate to full shutdowns as I move around a lot during the day. (Not that the openSUSE boot up takes that long, though. Just a preference.) In the past, when I have done that with Windows and Linux Mint for several days at a time it would become laggy and the sound quality would get sort of fuzzy/pop. I assumed this to be crowded RAM, and rebooting always resolved it.
So, is there a way to clear the cache without a reboot?
Root/sudo - although I'd be surprised if it isn't done automatically. The suspend tools try to minimise what they have to save, although it's been a while since I looked at them.
I hope you're not hibernating both Windoze and Linux at the same time - i.e. boot 'doze, hibernate, then boot Linux and hibernate. Seen some warnings somewhere against doing that.
Cool!!! didn't knew such tool existed (Linux's own CCleaner). Searched for it in different repositories, but couldn't find it anywhere for CentOS 6. Finally, as a last try checked developer's website and found latest rpm for CentOS 6 .
It also created menu items (for both regular and root user) under 'System Tools'.
Cheers!!!
Edit: Double Cool!!!. It has also bonus pack .rpm... i have no idea what it is, but i'll install it also and try it anyway .
