I have an IBM ThinkPad T20 with 256 MB of memory. I've noticed that
'free' seems to be waivering between 90 - 100% utilization no matter how
many applications I have open. If I run top it shows:

 9820 root      16   0 81316  41M 12056 R     0.9 16.6  45:51 X
14970 drfickle  14   0  1072 1072   812 R     0.9  0.4   0:00 top
 9839 drfickle  12   0  7760 6756  4432 S     0.3  2.6   1:13
gnome-panel-2
 9866 drfickle  11   0  6088 5340  4168 S     0.3  2.0   0:32
gnome-terminal

which definitely doesn't add up to 100%.

Can anyone clue me into why this would be happening? I'm current with
Cooker as of yesterday (3/13).

Thanks.
