There is, or at least was, a Python that ran under Android. It was a

Go to Micro Center in Cambridge. I'm typing on a very thin and quick
enough laptop I got there a couple of months ago for $400. i3, 500gb
hd, 6gb ram, 4 usb 2, 1 hdmi, dvd, sd card, metal accents, and pretty
nice for the price.
They have some refurbished computers as well.
Good luck,

Yes, it's the consulting tax. Apparently after it passed a whole lot of
folks complained loudly and now they are backing off. Keep emailing your
local reps if you don't want it to quietly remain in place.

I'd like to invite them to Software Freedom Day.
In fact, if you are aware of any other local companies, organizations

Mine usually do but I recall seeing some exceptions. free does some

Then I suspect that you have some devices using a chunk of your system
RAM. For example, something like a shared RAM IGP.

Dell documentation, for example, has been known to say some of its PC's
hardware will eat a certain amount of RAM that you will never have access
to for user space. You may want to review the docs of your system to see
if it has a similar claim (m/b, video card, etc).

Ugh, this is frustrating. I asked for 8192M (8G), but ended up with 5.79G.

I think you should do a reboot, capture the output of dmesg (dmesg

No, I think Scott nailed it. I checked a couple of my Dell servers. Sure
enough, the kernels report less RAM than is physically installed.

It would still be nice to know where the memory is being used.
Some Googling about lead me to the PCI memory hole:

Short version: in order to boot 32-bit operating systems the BIOS or EFI
firmware needs to map all PCI devices to the
14 matches
