not so much right nmow.  I think Marc just have no time to administrate
this machine. I wrote already about ftpd process which eats all CPU and
CPU time.

Awfull.

From 2 days online 'ftpd' eats 31 hours of CPU !

Also there are many issues I usually expect from system+db administrators.

So , I don't think adding a lot of RAM will help until such things like
crazy process eating CPU, everything live in one HD
