That explains why it is only 60 meg then. Surely would be higher with
X. Actually, linux is going to try to use all your memory. It's there,
might as well find something for it to be doing. No point in having
unused RAM. If not for apps, then it will start allocating for buffers
and cache, and then reallocate as required. This is nothing to worry
about (if you are), and is actually by design and a good thing.
