Remember that part of that memory (around 10M from the looks of it) is
being used for filesystem caching and buffering.

If you're not running X, turn off xfs. You can use:
chkconfig xfs off
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs stop
to stop it.

Do you use this? I haven't come across anything in home use that I use
this for. For the most part, I just schedule it with cron. Turn if off
if you're not using it.

Do you need mouse control on the text console? If not, turn it off.

pare that down to 2 or 3 by editing /etc/inittab.
