Hi!

I continually see something called a "Load Average" as a statistic for 
servers, ftp sites...and even my machine :)

But what does it mean?

The output from "uptime" tells me this:
11:50pm  up  2:48,  2 users,  load average: 0.49, 0.55, 0.51

So is this saying that my system is being "loaded" 0.49 out of 10, 1 minute 
ago...or is it out of 5 or what?

Please help me :)

Thanks,
George
