Is the amount of memory that 'free' reports as 'free' (or /proc/meminfo states as 'MemFree:') the amount of unrequested memory, or does it include requested but not actually used memory? If the latter, where can one see the amount of unrequested memory? -- "Something that I was not aware had happened suddenly turned out not to have happened." -- John Major in the Scott Report
