Hi all,
We are currently running Squid 2.3 Stable1 on a Redhat 6.0 box. When we
made the box we had 256Mb of RAM in it. We are about to add another 128Mb.
Do we need to do anything special? Or simply turn the machine off add the
ram, turn the machine on and away we go again? Do we need to reconfigure
anything in linux or squid?
Many Thanks

You don't _have_ to change anything, the ram will automatically be
detected by Linux and will be utilized as extra buffers/cache even if no
application is using it. But if it is a dedicated squid box, you might
want to increase the cache_mem parameter.
