Hi, I have added memory to my computer to up to 384 MB.
When I check memory usage on my system (Gnome information Panel or even cat /proc/meminfo), I'm very surprised to see that ~350 MB are used, with X / Gnome started + apache + exim + postgre's postmaster. Well, why not... but what surprises me is that I formely had 128 MB (+128 MB swap partition), and everything worked fine... (I added memory only to be able to run VMware concurrently). So my question is : can anyone explain me grossly how Linux uses memory ? (ex "the more it finds, the more it eats" !) Btw, I use unstable, maybe there's a bug somewhere not freing unsuded memory... Thanx in advance for any explaination. Franck
