At the same time: KDE... Gnapster: I share a 45Gb IDE drive (filled) - about 10 to 20 transfers happening simultaneously - average. Burning CD-R's: dumping alot of Old Time Radio programs to CD-R Browsin the web in Mozilla. Misc terminals.. xwave: recording a 1968 Reel to Reel recording of Eugene Ormandy conducting The Philadelphia Orchestra playing Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake to eventually burn to audio CD and create mp3's. :-) Once in a while xingmp3enc for Linux. I recorded a 200Mb wav file and tried to edit it. Xwave gobbled up all my swap before bringing up a dialog box - out of memory... My cdburn failed, had to start over... I just closed xwave.... I did not reboot yet and am getting these messages. My machine is still functioning ok - other than about 27Mb still swapped, so once in a while an app feels sluggish as I believe it is getting paged back in. I was just curious about the message.
