Hello all,

  I have a proliant server with 4 GB RAM and a 3GHz processor.
  I am using suse 9.2 professional and installing oracle 9i on it.
  But when a look at free results just after booting the server with no larg 
program running:

babao:~ # free
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:       4042056    4024008      18048          0       4920      35636
-/+ buffers/cache:    3983452      58604
Swap:      2104472       6068    2098404

almost all memory is allocated. I have just updated the system and it didn't 
change. I noticed that when I start a program like oracles dbca (assistent to 
create database) the machine almost dies running like a slower than my 
workstation.

  I also had a problem installing suse 9.2. It didn't started with 4GB of ram. 
I reduced to 2GB and the installation went fine. After a online update I 
could install the rest of the RAM. but now I noticed this problem and the 
machine is too sloow for a server.

  thanks for your attention and any help.
