[CentOS] Where is cached memory going?

2008-08-19 Thread ABBAS KHAN
As by the time, I've learned that Linux works by caching apps by using a lot of RAM and then it reallocates the new stuff by cleaning the old cached pages from memory as compared to other OSs. With 2 gigs of RAM often I see the free memory only as 100-400MB. Using TOP or PS, it doesn't look like an

I've Intel DG31PR with almost same Realtek chipset. Disabling / enabling on board LAN from the BIOS works flawlessly. You can make sure if the board is certified at hardware.redhat.com. I guess to test kernal you can use CentOS Live CD and the dmesg tool as well. Good luck! On Tue, Aug 19, 2008
