Webserver Upgrade

When I was at home over Christmas, my father gave me a 512MB DIMM that he had laying around unused. I finally got around to getting it in the Linux machine (after a hard crash while trying to resize holiday photos). After noticing that the Linux kernel I had been running since 8/2004 (2.4.27) didn’t have HIGHMEM support enabled thus limiting me to 896MB instead of 1024MB like I had previously mentioned.

So, after much fooling around and not remembering how to properly compile a kernel (something I used to do almost daily back in the day) I finally got 2.4.32 running w/HIGHMEM and the webserver is now nearly maxxed out on RAM:

garcia@supplication:~$ free
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:       1550072     839916     710156          0      31972     391448

Swap:       248996          0     248996

Yay!
