Same numbers, right? Apparently showing only 30 MB free. Next line from free: > -/+ buffers/cache: 197728 825400 Shows that you actually have 825 MB available. The OS is just using the rest of it to help speed things up by caching things (disk reads, for example) in memory. The moment a real program needs more memory, then it'll get it - up to 825 MB of it.* AfC * more or less :) -- Andrew Frederick Cowie Operational Dynamics Consulting Pty Ltd Australia: +61 2 9977 6866 North America: +1 646 472 5054 http://www.operationaldynamics.com/ -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
