I would like to know the memory usage of my computer.
I am not able to decipher the /top/ command:
**
top - 20:19:14 up 89 days, 2:15, 5 users, load average: 0.11, 0.08,
0.05
Tasks: 116 total, 1 running, 115 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie
Cpu(s): 8.8% us, 0.8% sy, 0.2% ni, 90.2% id, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi,
0.0% si
*Mem: 2593592k total, 1932912k used, 660680k free, 17956k buffers*
Does this mean that I am using 1.9 GB out of 2.5 GB?
This is very surprising because my system is almost idle.
On the other hand, System Monitor said that I am using only 478 MiB of
2.5 MiB
Why the /top/ command doesn't match the System Monitor? What is the/ i
/of MiB?
Thanks
