The "machine" has 32MB of RAM, plenty of space on the system partition.

Memory is a mess. Free gives this picture:

[flucifr...@filer ~]$ free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:            29         27          1          0          5          6
-/+ buffers/cache:         15         13
Swap:          101          0        101
[flucifr...@filer ~]$
