Take the 2-minute tour ×  Using a Toshiba Satellite l645d s4025
amd dual core p320 2.1ghz 3gb ddr3 ram 250 gb hdd  Below is the
incomplete top report(don't know how to select all to copy)
Using an Ubuntu 12.04 amd64 install/live dvd  Recently
uninstalled Ubuntu 12.04 due to the fact that the
processes(which in most cases there were 4-5 of each process
running) were all using close to the same virtual memory listed
above. (Possible fork bomb...I was ignorant enough to trust
instructions that a later read I shouldn't have(wget http) don't
remember the whole string.  I had no issues with performance due
to the fact that the processes weren't using much physical ram
and were not using any swap. As of now I reformatted the Hdd and
have not assigned swap for my Live session.  Is this normal
virtual memory usage? Do I need to set disk cache size?(Haven't
been able to find much on disk cache) I have read many posts but
nearly all are problems with physical memory, swap space(file),
or swap partition.  top - 18:46:34
