- jsprinkles 16y agoLess depending on where the kernel split is. 3 GB under Linux usually.
- postfuturist 16y agoI don't know the technical reason, but most 32 bit apps on Linux are limited to 2GB (2^31 bytes).
- nitrogen 16y agoAs jsprinkles alluded to in his post, the 2GB limit (or 1GB or 3GB, depending on kernel configuration) is to allow space for the kernel.
