Yesterday I start the KDE control panel and check memory trough it. I didn't like the answer ...
64 Mb of RAM detected ( which is correct) 1.5 Mb of FREE ram.
Great! This means Linux doesn't waste memory, but does use it.
Does Linux with KDE require that much ??? or did I mess up the config of my kernel ???
Thanks in advance for any input you can provide
Regards to all.
