Now, the one from when I got home:
25 processes: 1 running, 24 sleeping
CPU states: 0.0% user, 0.0% nice, 0.4% system, 8.9% interrupt, 90.7% idle
Mem: 7400K Active, 249M Inact, 68M Wired, 60M Buf, 170M Free
Swap: 980M Total, 980M Free
This machine sat unattended all day. What could be causing the drastic drop in Free memory? Is this normal? When I actually use the machine, it's even worse... Almost all of my RAM goes from Free to other various states, Mostly Inactive, even after I've closed all the programs I've had open, rather quickly (maybe an hour or two)
For reference, the uname -a:
