Hi All,
My CentOS 5.0 is running on x86 machine with 4GB RAM. It runs as a webserver and there is a small java applet application.
When the system is fresh reboot, there is below 1GB of used memory and as times go , the used memory increased to over 3.5GB.
Is there a way to free memory out like those program which works under Windows?
Thank you.
Linux doesn't work like that. The extra used memory is just buffers and will be freed if anything needs memory.
