You can't think of "free" as the only amount of free memory in the system. The 2.6 kernel will try to suck up all available memory if it possibly can for it's internal caches. If memory is needed by other things (like programs) it is easily given back. About all free is good for these days is to see that you have a swap device (or not) working, and if you have a kernel memory leak. hope this helps, greg k-h _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
