Hi and happy new year to all

I have been following the amount of free memory on my RH7.1 system and have
watched it steadily decrease from 320Mb to 124Mb as reported by Meminfo over
the last 2 weeks. Should I be concerned? I see that TOP displays a
completely different set of memory statics. Is there a way I can flush the
memory without rebooting the PC?

Many thanks

Mike
