Hello, does anyone here know what memory management technique used in Debian? Is it the same with the general Linux? I have tried to find in several website but what I found mostly is for the Linux kernel, not specifically stated those was used by Debian for its memory management.
Any specific link to that information, would really appreciate it!

Re: Debian Memory Management enquiries
Hello,
As in most of modern operating systems [0], the kernel provides memory manager functions to user’s programs in the Debian distribution. See [1] for the Linux kernel.

I'm happy I helped you to clarify this issue.

If I may ask, what made you suppose that ?
Re: Debian Memory Management enquiries
Oh, because there are too many Linux-based operating system such as FreeBSD, Tails, Sabayon Linux and much more, so that I thought there will be some differences in terms of memory management techniques even if they are all using Linux kernel?
And I was so confused about that, yet not sure where to find the memory management techniques used by Debian on this official website.

Re: Debian Memory Management enquiries
Hello,
I see. Just one remark: FreeBSD Distribution [1] does not use a Linux Kernel, but a FreeBSD kernel (a *nix kernel with a different origin and development), therefore it is not a Linux distribution. Linux distributions (often called GNU/Linux distributions) use a Linux kernel [2]
