When I was a system administrator, there was a command to find out how

It would chug away for a minute or two, then give you a number of
records in and out, this number was how many KB or RAM you had;
I tried this on debian, now all I get is a string of error messages...
Is there a better way???
Quite a complicated way of doing that. But if do not want to use
'free' as pointed by other people, you can always use
cat /proc/meminfo
