Debian seems to use alot of memory on mine. Running fluxbox,firefox,gaim and gkrellm its already used 50mb of swap after 3 hours, I've got 256mb of physical memory & 1gb of swap.
I know linux should use all the available memory but it should be swapping with just a few applications running.
XFree86 and firefox seem to be the biggest users of memory using 28.3% and 23.8% for the memory.
