I can confirm. It does seem to change by about 6MB every time I run it.

Hi all,
Am I the only one having this under Lenny?
When running just after first login (as root) the following:
#free -t
Observe free Memory left (you might even want to write it down)
Then run
#aptitude
get a fresh update (press u key ;-)
then quit aptitude, you know how to do this. Then check out again your
available memory.
#free -t
You may then observe that free memory left is more than slightly
different from previous poll, let say something has been lost
somewhere...
Thanks,
JL
So I assume I'm the only one ;-)
