"Unused memory is wasted memory..." :) That's pretty much the usual memory usage that you will see. Unless of course you've just booted up your system and there aren't that many processes that are currently running (or have finished running). I think it should be the individual process usage that you should be looking at. -- GPG Key ID: 0xD6655C18 Linux Just Simply Rocks! http://deathwing.ws4f.us/ Registered Linux User #327776
