>     Process management and memory use are complicated subjects 
     which are slightly different from one flavour of UNIX and UNIX-like
     systems to another. If you want to know more about them on your 
     particular flavour (Linux, BSD, Solaris and so on), then these are
     possible starting points. This guide is heavily biased towards the
     Linux platform. The author would welcome corrections for this!
