You may be slightly confused by what "using 98% of RAM" means. The Linux philosophy is that unused ram is wasted ram. If it is not filled with application programs, it will put temporary buffers in unused memory. So a normal running system will get to a steady state of most of the memory in use, even though much of that use may be low priority and reassigned on demand. Programs like xosview can help you distinguish the major memory uses: used for programs vs. buffers or I/O cache. Could that be what you're issue is about?

using top and sort by memory usage the the top using program is kdeinit using 11MB. Like I said, I just turn on the machine, with basic system install and it says it is using 98% of RAM. Any other ideia? Oh, and yes, shared memory is on and mounted.
