zram

[Tiago Ribeiro]

Thanks for the quick reply, Mario.
I already tested zram for a bit and nothing "weird" happened but then I
disabled it to continue testing more packages.
But yes, I think I will enable it again.
I just asked because its not enabled by default as in Lubuntu (like you
said).
This netbook get a lot of bottleneck with the low ram it has. The CPU its
almost every time at 12%. So it will just have to work a bit more with the
zram enabled.
I have a 4GB SO-DIMM laying around... Wish I could use it in this netbook,
but it was a gift so I was I can't complain.
Thanks again Mario.

Tiago

Nelson Mandela explained Ubuntu as follows:
"A traveller through a country would stop at a village and he didn't have
to ask for food or for water. Once he stops, the people give him food,
entertain him. That is one aspect of Ubuntu but it will have various
aspects. Ubuntu does not mean that people should not address themselves.
The question therefore is: Are you going to do so in order to enable the
community around you to be able to improve?"
