If you want to know how much memory is actually being used (i.e. not buffers or cache) then try using free(1). As I understand it, Linux tends to put 'free' physical memory into buffers when it has spare time, hence seeing the amount of 'free' (i.e. completely idle) memory slowly creeping up. Swap is not touched by this though. HTH Cheers, - Martin
--------------------------------------------------------------------Thanks for your answers. free(1) states that only 118Mb of memory is actually used outside cache and buffers.
