In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)

return code from the command or if its better to pipe to... (12 Replies)
I installed NetBSD 6.1.2 amd64 and can't find the apm utility. Is it not in the base system?

Or is there a new method for power management and suspend/resume? (2 Replies)
