Thanks a lot
I use different operating systems.
In particular I would be happy if Maxima
could see the whole available memory
in Debian (and similar distributions such as Ubuntu)
On the Debian computer I have kernel 2.6.18-6-amd64.
I use gcl with Maxima.
Has anyone found a solution for any
operating system and any lisp version?
