Can I get a reply to what I wrote? What I said in the post you're quoting is that until you know that you actually need more memory you need to do research, it's not exactly professional to say "Out of memory? Better install more memory, then." Because not all memory use is justified. I also explicitly said that it may come down to instaling more memory, but until you know that, you can't say that.

There could be a memory leak affecting them, there could be something misconfigured in their Oracle install, their specs for the this machine could have been way off, etc. For all we know if the OP slaps more physical memory in there it's just going to eat up that new memory and they're going to be back at square one only this time they have to explain to their boss why the fix they offered didn't actually fix the problem.

It's not four gigs, I don't know where that number came from, their free output shows 11 gigs physical and 18 gigs swap. A swap that big probably also points to a technical deficit, BTW.

install-solaris

install-solaris(1M)													       install-solaris(1M)

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.

       install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the
       installation media. Refer to the  for disk space requirements.

       Refer to the  for more information on the various menus and selections.

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
