Ah, okay, the quote was: "The system monitor gives memory usage as about 38% of about 700 Mb (I have 750 Mb of RAM)." I assume the figures are a little weird because they are approximate and because the graphics card is likely using some of the RAM. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
