Total = 191148K -free = 4800K -cached = 88888K ___________________ Total Free = 97460K 97M RAM ready for use when called upon. If you notice swap isn't being called upon yet, which is a good thing. So linux is making use of the current physical memory you have installed correctly. Someone can correct me if I am wrong.
