You may check my articles that (indirectly) explain about what "free
memory" really is:
http://www.linuxforums.org/misc/using_top_more_efficiently.html
http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2006/11/30/linux-out-of-memory.html

short hint: "free" is free + buffer + cached (these two are reclaimable)
