Hi gang. I been trying to trim down a bit of the memory usage and I getting mixed numbers.
Gnomevolumemanager is telling me I using ~70MB:

The free command is telling something different:

Code:
$ free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:           185        171         14          0          6         90
-/+ buffers/cache:         73        111
Swap:          383          0        383


Whats the difference? What one do I trust?

They're pretty close from what I can see... within 3MB.
The 'used' portion of the top row in 'free' includes memory used by cache/buffers which apparently the other app removes.

Yeah, that makes sense. I didn't realize that Linux keeps a permanent cache ready for use. thanks there
