Right at this moment, uptime reports 12:45pm up 1 day, 16:55 and free reports: total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 386596 382180 4416 0 2052 29400 -/+ buffers/cache: 350728 35868 Swap: 232932 232932 0 Where is all the memory going? According to top, X is using 72.8% memory, that can't be good. If anyone has tips on memory management it will be greatly appreciated. Mick.
