Well, I wouldn't know how to find this out effectively on Linux.

It's not just a question of 'how much memory is free', because
memory is *never* free normally.  It's a question of 'would it
be more efficient right now to throw away some pages of the
page cache, the buffer cache and/or swap out some other app, 
than it would be to free pages from a VM' ...
