Xmem and FVWM
So given that, xmem can be useful as a monitoring tool.Fluffy(my main server) runs both squid and apache, and given that fluffy only has 64MB of RAM, things can get a little cramped. If I suddenly see that the whole of xmem turns blue (i.e. the swap file's thrashing), then I know that something is odd, and I can easily find out which processes are eating up so much RAM.
I said earlier that xmem can brighten up one's desktop. Indeed, as I useFVWMin a rather archaic fashion, it seems fitting I should like xmem.

This is basically just an excuse to show off this awesome FVWM desktop shown off in this short little article about xmem, written by one of FVWM's core developers. It just looks neat.
