Thanks, Henrik! I have been watching my squid server all weekend and have noticed it hovers around 5-8MB of free RAM. I have a windows background and fairly new to the linux world. I saw no RAM as a bad thing. But everything seems to be working fine.

How do you measure amount or RAM used? Measuring RAM usage in a UNIX system is non-triviall as there normally should be no free ram if ths system works correctly as any free unused ram is a waste of resources (which UNIX dislikes).
