[Discuss] memory management

[aicra at faqlinux.com (Marcia K Wilbur)]

I'm not sure what you are using for the OS but I'll guess - Ubuntu or  
some variant of Ubuntu..

If so, stop doing that. If not, let us know. Then, maybe there are  
other solutions.

The memory leak wrt Firefox has been an issue for those users (not  
community...users) for years.
There are so many reasons to use a distro over Ubuntu.

Note I did not refer to Ubuntu as a "distro"...
At any rate, there is a fix for the Ubuntu Memory issue. The best  
solution though- Don't use Ubuntu.
