If you are planning on using a server with over 4 GB of RAM and are
running CentOS 4 or RHEL 4 or higher (2.6 kernels) make sure you use the

and shutting itself down... Took us a while to figure out what the hell
was happening because the wonderful oom-killer would start killing
processes off and usually started with syslog...
