Memory used but where 314

I like xosview that shows it pretty well. But top will show it as well. Consider:

Linux tries to make the best use of the available memory as it is available. It reserves a small amount of heap (the 300 meg you saw) for Malloc() operations, but the rest is allocated...
This shows that 144 Megabytes are used for buffers and 3.387 Gigabytes are used for cache. I find this typical; i.e., most of the memory is not used by the processes (unless they happen to need the space) and almost all the rest is used for output buffers and input cache.
