newbie questions re: memory usage, leaks and troubleshooting

I'm running potato with Apache and MySQL and have noticed some memory problems that I'm not sure how to troubleshoot. Basically, available memory keeps getting used up and not reclaimed. Swap space doesn't seem to get used much, if at all. Currently, free says: total u

Netscape install was Re: memory usage and Netscape

While we are on the topic, I have had problems using the debian install package to install Netscape 4.05. I copy the .tar.gz file (somethinging like netscape-405-unknown-linux20-export.tar.gz, IIRC), rename it by deleting the "export" word (so the install package doesn't complain) and do a dpkg
