Hey pal, I did not guarantee it for *all* variants.. I said you *might* find
it there.  But I have to say I was surprised
a bit, I knew Solaris did not have it, but never noticed that my (net)BSDs
were lacking it. Is meminfo actually exclusive to Linux only ? If that is
the case, one more mark in my list of small superior (convenient?) features
for the penguin OS.

Then again, perhaps that is one feature I would like to patch into
NetBSD.... So many projects, so little time.... *sigh*
