Thanks for the replies. I checked free and that makes sense to me now. The
only thing I cannot figure out is, if there is all this memory available why
would swap space start building?
I started checking all this out because the system slowed to a crawl after I
noticed swap space being used which does not make sense to me if there is
available memory.
total used free shared buffers cached
