Tech-TV spinoff

It seems as though a bunch of disgruntled Tech-TV folks have started a web page. These people are fairly knowledgible and the show is very useful for newbies and moderate users. Even experienced "geeks" might find individual items of use.

RAM drive in Linux

Some Linux distros set up a RAM drive called /dev/shm. I find it takes up quite a bit of RAM. I decided to check if it was really needed. I edited the /etc/fstab file and commented out the line defining the device. I found the computer operates a little smoother (but not much).

I have yet to test it with VMWare. Since it is fairly memory intensive it should function better.
