Actually, quite a bit less than "all". In particular, top doesn't report the
true amount of available RAM, that is, the amount available including cache
and buffers. Its reporting is equivalent to only the first of the two lines
that "free" reports. Those numbers are VERY misleading, especially on a
system that goeas a long time between reboots.
