I second the above statement.

For complete answer, you can download Full Circle Magazine issue #39th
from http://fullcirclemagazine.org/issue-39 and read page 14 through
20. There, I write about the meaning of entire fields mentioned in
/proc/meminfo. Hopefully you can find the answer of your questions by
yourself...

Good luck...and let me know your feedback about that article..
