The amount of memory reported as free isn't exact in many situations.
Linux alters the heap, etc, when it needs to (and when it can). Your best
bet is to check to see if you have a particular process that's looking
strange. If you don't, then don't worry.
If you don't do a whole lot of stuff with the box for long stretches, that
might be causing the memory free number to be a little low. It isn't a
usual cause for alarm, though.
