-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello to all, I don't know if this is the right list to make my question. If it doesn't please forgive me. Well, the question is related to "load averages" that we see in "w", "top" and other system utilities. I have look at this programs man pages but I don't find the really meaning of it. In this momment I am doing a "make -j4 buildworld" in a X11 envirement (XFree86 / IceWM) on my Cyrix 200 and the load averages are about 4.88. What the limits of load averages and what the danger values and in what that this values are based. Thanks very much, - -- Nuno Teixeira Dir.
