I was hoping there was a magic setting for mysql, that would let it
run using less memory--especially since the databases I'm running are small. It seems to spawn 4 or 5 child processes automatically. I
could live with only 1 or 2.  I managed to reduce Apache's memory
footprint a little without an apparent loss of response.  Ahh well, I
guess 256MB is a little on the small size these days, even for a
non-gui server. Speaking of which, 240108k is a little odd- I wonder
if I'm about to have some physical ram problems.

240108k might just mean that the BIOS reserves some of the ram for use
by the video card. This is common on motherboards that have built in
video cards (not sure whether your video card is built in or not).

Thanks for the pointer Jacob. Yes, it is using the built in video chip--so that probably accounts for the missing 16MB.
