Yes, you need it. 64Mb or 32Mb will be enough. Even 4Mb will do. But you should have swap. I noticed that on systems with no swap, when a fork/malloc bomb occures (Soffice with some strange doc file) the system won't come back.

DESCRIPTION badblocks is used to search for bad blocks on a device (usually a disk partition). device is the special file corresponding to the device (e.g/dev/hdc1). blocks-count is the number of blocks on the device.
Take and old PC (286-486sx) running DOS and some old shareware board game. Put it in demo mode (computer vs. computer). Wish/think that a side shall win. Repeat 50 times.
With an 486sx20 and HEXXAGON I succeded to make the desired side win about 90% of the time.
step 2:
make an X app that displays 4 big dots disposed in a cross. The app shall use two random number generators (one for the X one for the y axis), and put a blot randomly on the dots. Wish/think the blot to stay more in some of the dots. Count how many times the dots were hit.
(my Xlib programming skills suck) - will be done
step 3 - Use the difference of the values to move the mouse (trough Xtest ext.). Wish your mouse go left:)
No, *nix never crashes:) But the ideea of backups is good when: - lots of users play with rm, wildcards and their "important" data - you have a shitload of disks and the mtbf/nr_of_disks ratio is very low. - you||your bo$$ are paranoid - you have VERY important data which must survive an axe-trough-cpu error.
