just curious.... openSUSE always loads or uses 90% of my 1 gig RAM, but ubuntu just 25% of it. what's that mean?
Look at your memory with "free -tm" and look the used and free cached and -/+ buffers/cache. total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 1011 949 61 0 389 136 -/+ buffers/cache: 424 587 Swap: 1011 3 1008 Total: 2023 953 1070 While mem: reports 949 used and 61 free, in reality less than half of that is still in actual use (424) and there is actually (587) of what was previously in use that is now free. I suspect you will see the same thing. Someone else will have to further explain the memory management scheme in more detail. This is from a current 10.0 server w/1G. For most of it's life it only had 512M of RAM. It supported, web, mail, vpn, file sharing, groupware, ftp without problems. I recently upgraded to 1G and performance is improved, same rock solid performance. -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
