#4 (1) Still can't preview, no matter what I try. (2) See first post to the story about the man who died on the subway. I had posted a comment that turned out to have a mistake in it, and the next post got mixed with it and appears as a comment instead of an article.

#5 Search doesn't work. Here's the error message:

#6 Search should be fixed, at least the one from the main page.

#8 Preview from comments gives me a page not found. Plus "Mod" comments tool ain't working either.

#9 Oops, sorry. Comments preview from the main RB pages gives a page not found error. Not that I preview my own comments much. They're always prefect on the first try.

#10 I just made a comment in "mod" comments. It worked for me. Browser difference?

#11 Comments preview is fixed.

#12 Just tried the "Mod" function again, still not working. Preview is now working fine.

#13 Should work okay now.

#14 Works for me.

#15 I can't find the so called mod function, this is a serious oversight. Repercussions to follow.

#17 I'm looking at the CPU activity right now. CPU usage is in the 3 percent range/user, 4 percent system, which is utterly unlike what my Win box used to show. Since this is my development box, it's only got 512M of memory, and memory usage is running around 475M. I'm guessing that if the memory usage spikes, that's what causes the beast to sieze up.

I'm going to back up the Win box tonight and then start building Debian on it. Having 2 gigs of memory should clear up the remaining problems. Until then, I'll keep an eye on the thing. As long as it doesn't crash in the middle of the night I'll be able to bring it back up PDQ.

#18 Good, perhaps the MOD button will show up on my IE6 platform.

#19 Preview opens up a blank window with the "busy" cursor, and stays there for 5 minutes, when I gave up.

#20 Fred
Looking at #19, do you have swap configured?

#21 Also, are you aware linux caches disk pages in memory? Sort of a virtual disk and throws them away when you need to load more stuff. If you look at total memory it should always be near 100%. Process memory is where it gets interesting in linux.

#22 At this moment I've got 1382940k free, 56568k used, 286876k cached on swap. That looks pretty comfy to me. But the memory usage looks real tight.
