Re: [gentoo-user] Precognizant ML? Was: Memory recognition

Anyway Linux, by design, use almost all free memory for cache, this 
memory is back to system when is necessary. It's a way to obtain better 
performance.

You need the following flags in your kernel for 1Gb of RAM:

(4GB) High Memory Support
[*] HIGHMEM I/O support


You know, the previous thread regarding caches in memory taking up all
the space prompted me to check on my newly installed 1GB of ram (from
256MB).  To my surprize, only 386264 kb were reported by free :(
And as I was about the post the question, I read this answer.  Thanks!
I'm recompiling the kernel right now.  

Now Gentoo is beginning to scare me.  Her MLs are answering my questions
before I ask them... :)
