It's not necessary that the 249MB RAM is being utilised by the services and running processes. Additional physical memory is also utilised as buffered & cached memory. I run FC2 with Gnome Desktop Environment. Out of 256MB RAM, about 120MB was used by services and processes (when checked immediately after login). Remaining was devided between buffered and cached memory, leaving some 3-5 MB of physical memory free. I just upgraded to 1.2GB RAM and now the buffered & cached memory is ~600MB while actual utilisation is the same ~120MB VJP -- Novitiate of the Knife, under the Master of the Sabre.
