hint: read and understand the "-/+ buffers/cache" line, where it says that you actually have 3362mb of free ram that is being used by the kernel for buffering and/or caching purposes. If/when some program needs it, the kernel will happily handle it the necessary amount of ram.

It's standard linux behaviour regarding memory usage, and it's actually GOOD for you.

ah, now its clear for me. sorry, i started using linux systems about 1 month ago and i'm in a process of learning.

so it means that everything is all right

thanks
