I just added 128MB to my 96MB SUSE 7.0 Intel box.
What should I adjust so that the system makes proper use of this RAM?
THANKS!

Linux will use all the memory detected when it strarts up.
You shouldn't need to do anything to Linux.
Run top and check the line starting Mem:. This should show over 200000k available memory. Also check the
line showing Swap:. The amount available should
be about twice the real memory. Don't worry too much
if you don't have enough swap space. I have seen
recommendations that swap partitions be limited to
128MB in size. You should be fine with between two and four partitions of this size. If you don't have adequate
free disk space then you can use swap files.
Check the howtos and other documentation at:
http://www.linuxdoc.org.
