Sorry to be so contradictory:

psz@como:~$ uname -a
Linux como.maths.usyd.edu.au 3.2.32-pk06.10-t01-i386 #1 SMP Sat Jan 5 18:34:25 EST 2013 i686 GNU/Linux
psz@como:~$ free -l

psz@como:~$

(though I would not know about violations).

But OK, I take your point that I should move with the times.

Cheers, Paul
