Now, since we are runnig Debian, you can open a console, type ps-ax and look at what processes are active, use top to find out which one gobbles memory and kill -9 to get rid of it. Is this what you wanted to know?

Heck, even my Apple bugs from time to time. Rarely, it's one of the bests and that is why I bought it, but sometimes it does.

Yikes, I didn't mean for this topic to go off the map. I do appreciate the level of help that was offered, but I guess I didn't quite express the fact that my linux savvy was far below par. This may have opened things up to more levels than just telling me "Reboot- noob....it will get fixed later" 
Anyway, it appears there is a lively group participating in this forum and that's always a good thing IMHO.
Cheers all!

I own 3 different Zaurii. Don't get me started on the software and memory issues. Oh: and it corrupted flash cards as well.
The 770 is neither better nor worse. I miss the keyboard, I like bluetooth, wifi and the screen. I miss the extra memory. The linux software was neither better nor worse in quality, especially at the beginning.

Maybe you should read what warranty you get on your flash card and you would stop worrying about wear...

This device is not only marketed to people who know how to use a prompt, though, and a more intelligent way to detect apps that are out of control and reign them in might be in order -- one that includes a non-command line UI.-j
I agree with Mike vis a vis people fighting amoungst themselves.
But, I'd like to go one step further. Can we close this thread and those interested can start new ones? What I'd like to see is a constructive discussion about ways to fix the problems at the OS level, although that might be something that should live on one of the maemo.org sites instead of ITT.
