Re: my maxed out memory - still ok?



any time you are lookin at memory usage, you need to subtract out the
totals for buff and cache.  Right now your system is only using roughly
169 megs, thats far from maxing out half a gig of ram.  Linux will take al
your 'free' memory and fill it up with stuff that will improve the
performance of your system (caching filesystem access for one), and
although it counts in the 'used' column, you shouldnt count it when seeing
how much memory your system uses.
