-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Yeah, I noticed the same thing. When my server gets booted, about 80 mb of ram is used with no swap. However, after the uptime gets to about 2 days or so, I notice that all but 4k or so of my ram is used, and a bit of swap. It makes no difference if my system has 128m or 256m, or 384m of ram installed, the free amount of ram after about 2 days uptime is still about 4 k. Since this was happening from the beginning, I assumed that it was normal, but was wondering what was causing it. Also I don't have any tmpfs here.
