I had a system running a 128MB live CD image with 2.8 gigs of available RAM and the OOM kernel killer went crazy when using dd for more than 8 minutes and kept killing everything. I've read that this is due to a low-memory issue and paging in the kernel and 32-bit systems with lots of RAM.
I even enabled swapspace on my LiveCD and the issue happened 25 minutes into dd rather than 8 minutes, so what gives?
Also no swap space was ever used!

Link Exchanges- Friendly AdviceI just wanted to make aware to the public who are paying to use Link Exchanges to get heavier traffic online and boosting their page rank in Google. Please be advised that this type of 'exchange' can very well get you booted off of Google and blacklisted by them! It's happened to many people and it's a very important tip. If you are on a Link Exchange, and have not been booted off yet; you MAY. Google is very smart and eventually they catch on. ;) Be ca........
