what else was running ? there's not really much to go on here. most likely something in userspace is leaking memory, and this isn't a kernel bug. Hello Dave, No, probably not kernel, but I didn't know where to put this. Do you need some kind of info ? Why am I using 900Mb without using anything specific. I'm just logged in running nothing but a browser. This isn't normal is it ? Is output of 'ps aux' of any help? the browser would be my first suspect. how much memory does top claim it's using ? Created attachment 407314 [details]
output of ps aux
Hi,
Following is the output of top, running no browser at that moment.
ps aux is attached.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 14 development cycle. Changing version to '14'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping You have 320MB of cache and buffers in use. Use the "free" command to show how much memory is really in use, since buffers/cache can be dropped at any time if a program needs that memory.
$ free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 3917548 3835252 82296 0 338744 2319380
-/+ buffers/cache: 1177128 2740420
Swap: 1025016 340 1024676
The second line shows I really have 2740420 bytes available.
