free shows that I have a total of 121 MB memory (I cant seem to figure out
why it shows 121 when it should be 128) and I have used up 117

My question is Is there a benchmark, a kind of threshold, which will warn me
additional RAM is required? Should I wait till the used up portion shows
121 MB? Surely I have to keep a margin. What should this margin be?

By the by is "free" a tool available on all Linux/UNIX systems :- including
Mandrake, Debian Linux, SCO Unix e.t.c Can it be downloaded and installed
seperately?

Eagerly awaiting replies
