hello,

my httpd crashed, and i checked the top colmmand and it looks like my
system is using a rather big quantity of memory ???

Did you ever check top before httpd crashed?

is this normal? what could be the cause ???


Mem: 1027552k av, 1016012k used, 11540k free,

In Linux, RAM that isn't being used by programs is used for buffers and
cache.

Try the "free" command, and look at the "-/+ buffers/cache" line.
