Question Ram
Are there any utilities available for Linux that monitor the RAM used and free up memory? I have both Ubuntu 6.06 LTS and Open SUSE 10.2 installed with a older Pentium 3, 500mhz and with 384 MB of memory.

Hi jrbuergel,

Try the command: free
and check out its man page: man free

There is also the System Monitor via the System pull-down menu.

Check your repositories for any desklet applications (such as gdesklets or adesklets), there's various system monitors you can place on your desktop with them..

KDE also includes a system monitoring app called Ksysguard.

Gnome has a system monitor under utilities.
