Could we just install more memory in it? What would it cost? (I'm
guessing the cost will not be that bad)
Depends. Old memory can be expensive.
I'm really surprised by the memory usage. What's hogging it all? My
server at home is running httpd, dovecot, sendmail, sshd, etc. A lot of
the same programs, and my memory usage looks like this:

The key line is the last one: No swap usage at all.
I'm NOT running mailman, spam assassin, or vsftpd, but could those be
eating 100MB? That seems unlikely. So, well, I'm wondering why we're
short of memory.
Would moving some services elsewhere help? E.g., moving the ftp server?
