No. The linux kernel will (smartly) use any/most available memory to cache disk i/o, so all linux systems tend to show very little available memory. This is normal (and a good thing). FWIW, the free and top commands show memory usage, and this cached i/o shows up as 'cached', which hopefully

Cool. Let us know. I've heard that some people like to set up their caching nameserver (resolver) to forward to their ISP's resolvers. I haven't reached a conclusion myself as to whether that's a good or bad thing. As usual, I expect that one size does not fit all. Maxwell Smart wrote:
