memory question

[Joerg Johannes <liste_joerg@gmx.de>]

Hello List

I've got 512MB of RAM, and I wanted to see how much of it is free. So I
ran gtop, which showed me that ~84MB are used (mainly X and apache-ssl).
OK so far, but cat /proc/meminfo tells me that ~480MB are in use, and
only 32MB free. So, which of both is right, and who is eating that much
memory??

thanks
joerg

will hear the voice of Satan?

That's nothing!  If you play it forward, it'll install Windows 2000.
