Re: Memory usage on debian
This is a FAQ, regardless of distro. Run top. Type uppercase M.
This sorts by memory usage. Also look at fourth and fifth lines from
the top. This give your memory usage. The free number is the amount
of unused memory. It does not include the amount used for buffers
(fourth line, far right) or disk caching (fifth line, far right). If
you want the amount of memory actually used, subtract these amounts
from the total (fourth line, left side).
If you are running X, run xosview to see a graphical view of memory
usage.
