From this, you have
291788 free memory (completely unused) 149368 buffered pages 1368452 cached stuff
this comes to around 1,810,000 K or 1.8Gig of RAM
which leaves around 200 Meg of RAM in use by programs and 1.8Gig available for use.
The way linux handles memory is a little different from other OS's and as such it will appear to have used all available RAM when in actual fact this is not the case (well, it IS but it is just doing what its been designed to do)

HTH,
-- Steve.
So you can see it only has 300MB of memory free, meaning 1.7GB is used. The only commands I'm familiar with our ps -aef and top.
top shows %MEM but almost all processes are 0.0%. Some are 0.5 or 0.1.
Not sure where to look?
Thanks BM
