Programs don't free memory

2006-01-07 Thread Nguyen Danh Hieu
  Hi everybody
  Sorry for my bad English but I have a question.I have 512Mb memory on my
PC but as I realize at starting my system have about 100Mb active memory,
but when the system have worked for a while there is no free memory on my
system ( about 350Mb inactive) As I understand this means some programs (
like kdeinit) don't want to free memory after workes. Is this true? How can
I fix thís problem out?
  Thank you

free memory is memory wasted.

For a better, more lengthy and more detailed explanation of this, please
see the excellent article of Matt Dillon that describes ``virtual memory''
and how it works in FreeBSD:
