ok, i was tooling around and decided to see how much ram i was currently using. i have 768mb installed and linux knows it (running a 950 processor, decent speed combo). so i look at i'm fluctuating between 5 and 20mb of free ram left. so i think this just can't be right, i mean, to use up ALL that ram when i all i hvae running is a media player, gaim, mozilla, and kmail. so i do a search and i read that it's normal for linux to do this because it's not actually using the ramm it's just keeping things stored there kinda like a hard disc for when it has to use it....or something like that. is that really what it's doing? the system hasn't been running excessively long, only about a day and a half.
anyway, this just boggled me and was wondering if anyone could inform me if this is really true or if something is wrong here. thanks! Mike
