vmstat will show you that with more context too -- you might want to
set up some load tests, either web requests or samba xfers or
computational tasks or whatnot. Push your machine to the edge of
its current workload and observe. Setup your loads and log some vmstats
(-n) IIRC...

Learning something new...
I'm trying to determine if a web server has enough RAM for the load. I
was advised to use the ''free -m' command and to pay special attention
to the Swap value.
Been watching it since last night and it Swap was at 96 then, 100 now.
Here's the latest:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1511 1490 21 0 134 1039
-/+ buffers/cache: 315 1195
Swap: 1027 100 926
We are looking at this to see about upgrading the server (a RAM upgrade
requires a newer box since the current one is maxed out) so we're
talking about some $$$ here, so I want to make the right call...
Any advice on this?
