I'm not sure what it's called on Fedora, but I just stare at the System Monitor available on Ubuntu as I click the tabs. Though, I was more wondering about the actual size of the ./fg_flier/data/airports file itself.
Sorry about the delay in not responding to this. Shortly after posting my last message on this thread, my laptop crashed. I had MAJOR problems trying to get Fedora back up and running, primarily compatibility issues between FG and the Catalyst ATI video drivers. After trying just about everything I could think of to get Fedora back, without any success, I did a what-the-heck install of Ubuntu 10.10 to see it that would be better. Lo and behold, the install went flawlessly and there are (so far!) NO problems with Catalyst and FG!
Anyway, now that I'm more-or-less back online (I still haven't installed fg_flier and have more data files to restore from backup), I do some mucking this weekend and let you know how how much memory usage and the airports file size I'm getting with the entire world scenery. Should be interesting, eh?!?
Regards,
Chris
