[YLUG] VPS running out of memory

[vivi]

Theres no swap with the vps. Ive been playing with ulimit with little success, just seems to ignore the limits i set. http://forums.vpslink.com/showthread.php?t=246 << It seems as though adding swap wont help. I think ill try distcc unless anyone can think of a better way ^^ Thanks
