You may then observe that free memory left is more than slightly different from previous poll, let say something has been lost somewhere...

So I assume I'm the only one ;-)

  No, it's just that it takes more than 5 hours sometimes to get an

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your answer. I was you know hunting for free memory since my system is only having 128MB which tend to be not enough those days (even with Linux).
