With the CYA out of the way, here is how to free up as much memory as possible by dumping the cache. Execute as root, or with sudo:

# sync
# echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
Admin-Amir, that was too funny! I needed that laugh. Well, time to pull out the shield & armor and put it on the cat. Thank you once again, you always seem to have some sound good advice! Is the preferred way to run these commands from the desktop or another way? Thanks. Peace
