Question with Ubuntu and vmware

tylerjroach · 06-09-2006, 02:50 PM

I am running Ubuntu 5.10 in vmware on a computer with 1gb of RAM. If I tell Ubuntu to use 512 mb of RAM on my computer, I know it will use it when i am running Vmware. Then, when I exit out of vmware, does my computer still have 1gb of ram or does it only have 512.

VMWare (like other applications) releases its memory when it exits so the RAM is available to the rest of the system. You could try running top or free in a terminal window to check this. Was that what you were asking?

Thank you, that was all I was wondering.
