This is normal, and done by kernel to keep memory full all the time, so access time to binaries is less (so your machine works faster). This can only be a problem on systems with low RAM (I remember having 48M, and having it all full.....going into swap even when I was just running X alone). If you don't like it, there are 2 files you can tweak: /proc/sys/vm/pagecache and /proc/sys/vm/buffermem Read about them in kernel docs, but with 256M you have nothing to worry about. Just turn off the swap, and never touch it again. Andrew
