Well, it won't be long lived. Recently I started having memory leak issues in the OS. After about a day, all the memory would be used up leaving an unusable system. It started with a power manager, I can't remember if was the gnome one or not. But after kill -HUP on that process, another process called polkitd would start leaking memory. I have to HUP polkitd once a day now. Some googling showed that there are some instances going back to Lucid (I am on Maverick right now). I can't believe that something as core as polkitd would go this long unfixed. (Apparently polkitd is some sort of policy daemon, security or power I am not sure).
On another thread, I've been having VOIP issues. Whenever Rosalia calls me at work, the line is frequently choppy which usually means UDP packets are getting lost or delayed. I found this great article on how to configure Tomato QOS which finally explained to me how to use Rate and Limit properly.

Rate is actually the min guaranteed bandwidth for a class. So now I make sure my rate percentages all add up to 100%. Calls since this fix appear to be much better, but I still can detect a few dropouts here and there.
