no /usr/src/Config.h-deb is my version.
a + indicates the current status in the busybox package on erik's page.

um maybe your forgetting what free does:
eb@plato ~$ free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 127608 124432 3176 45744 27588 38836
-/+ buffers/cache: 58008 69600
Swap: 98744 46124 52620
nothing to do with disk space. if they run out of memory they won't
be able to run free anyway (go try it if you don't believe me)
df is useful (and in fact needed by powerpc make bootable scripts) but
du is not.
