It does not matter that you installed from CD#1 or by another method such as DVD or network installation. All are equivalent. What matters is what you have installed and then what you have started running. > What does this include? > > I find that, with an 8GB system, most will be used but mostly as a cache > to avoid hitting the disk.

Install htop and look at its bar graph visualization. # apt-get install htop As my machine is sitting right now with two web browsers open plus emacs plus dozens of terminals I am consuming 1578M of ram in userspace processes. The rest of my 4G total ram is used for buffer cache. I have used 1261M in swap space for pages that I have not accessed in days and it is better not to have in memory. I find the biggest consumer of ram pages on my system to be the web browsers Chromium and Firefox (Iceweasel). The web has gotten to be a ram hog and when my machine is in need of memory I exit the web browsers first. Bob
