SubjectQuestion regarding inactive memory
This may be a bit of a newbie'ish question, and maybe a bit off-topic, 
but is there any way for me to remove inactive memory, either explicitly
or implicitly? I have 512MB of PC2700 SDRAM, but my system is constantly
eating into the swap I have on my system since I have usually about
140-300MB of inactive (and dirty) RAM and usually about only 250MB in
active memory. Is there a way for me to correct this bad memory usage
without having to reboot? If patching the kernel would be a possible
route to venture to, I'm game.

Any suggestions or comments are welcome.

Thank you all!
David
