RE: fedora OS high memory usage

Normal.

Buffered memory used for disk cache and other crazy things.

I heard some rumors that this is normal. As you say, it is allocated memory
reserved by the processes. If you are unlucky there might be a process that
is leaking memory.

Subject: fedora OS high memory usage

Hi: I have installed Fedora 6 on a laptop with 756MB
RAM. With no application started when the machine
boots up, the top is saying that, 601308K is being
used.

Mem: 774356k total, 601308k used, 173048k free,
19348k buffers

Is this normal? or is this not really what it means. I
read some postings that the memory usage shown here is
what is allocated for the processes and not how much
is being used.

Any thoughts?
Thanks
Ravi
