Youtube and Product Marketing

Youtube and Product Marketing
January 1st, 2008 by Maddog

Youtube is turning out to be an important -- and acknowledged -- marketing 
tool. What started as a simple way to post home-made (or even pirated) 
videos has become such a popular online source of digital media that 
established companies are using it to market their products. Youtube 
exemplifies the power of an open and active user community.

Is this a glimpse of the future?

Some people seem to think so. Microsoft, for example, has tried to push 
Windows Vista on Youtube, as Joe Wilcox in his article, "Real Vista 
Marketing Finally Begins", reports:

    Microsoft sure took it's time about it, but nine YouTube
    videos lay out Vista -- and Windows Live -- benefits. Oh,
    yeah, there's a better together message with other
    Microsoft products, too.

making use of swap

Hi Linux Gurus,

I just wanted to be more knowledgeable of the the SWAP. When I checked my machine's Memory usage using top, i see this report:

Cpu(s):  7.8% us,  2.1% sy,  0.0% ni, 90.2% id,  0.0% wa,  0.0% hi,  0.0% si
Mem:    507276k total,   500964k used,     6312k free,    62324k buffers
Swap:   522072k total,        0k used,   522072k free,   178940k cached

Does this mean my machine is not using any swap?

Also,I confirmed it when I do a free command:

                 total          used           free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:        507276     500364       6912          0      59292     178744
-/+ buffers/cache:     262328     244948
Swap:       522072          0         522072

Is there a way I can make my machine use the RAM at the same time the swap, so that both memories share workload on my machine.

Any help is greatly appreciated...

Happy new Year..:)

Yours,
Dylan

Re: making use of swap


You don't what that to happen.  Swap, more specifically your hard disk, is slow compared with your PC's RAM.  If you find out your PC is maxing out its swap space, then it's time to buy more RAM.


Happy New Year!

Re: making use of swap


Yes, swap is used to free memory for others to use. Moving data in to and out of swap takes time (read from memory, write to hard disk, vice versa, and admin overhead stuffs).  If you have a lot of program battling for RAM space, you'll see a lot of disk activity.  And if you have too many of this happening, you're computer will be so slow because it is waiting a lot of the the time for the swapping in/out of data to finish -- commonly referred to as 'trashing'.

Yup, you're doing it right. :D

You can check if swap is enabled and used by looking at the output of
`swapon -s'.  Typically swap gets used even if RAM isn't fully used up
when memory-intensives like Firefox make use of the swap to store
not-so-frequently accessed media.  Also, if you're using a tmpfs
partition (like having it on /tmp,) swap can be used in the same way
as RAM.

Cheers,

Zakame

how to limit rsync's traffic

I'm writing a script for file transfer using rsync. The file to be transferred almost 9GB. I just notice that it eat lots of bandwidth whenever I'm running it as I check it to  my mrtg. Can rsync be limit its traffic to some kb/s? I have check Google and some says I need trickle.  Is there a version of rsync that capable of this?

Have you tried using rsync with the --bwlimit option, yet?
