RE: is debian eating my memory?
Sounds about right. If you have 32Mb of ram, and your
apps are only using, say 10Mb, Linux is smart enough
to use the free memory as disk-cache, rather than have it
going to waste. As soon as this disk-cache memory is needed
by some other application, Linux will free it.
