telnet command discussion

[Rob van der Does]

to look at the free space in memory that you have on your box it nice and simple
Don't be mislead by that: free memory in Linux is quite different from free memory in Windows.
Linux has an intelligent memory-management system: it will use (almost) all the memory that is available, as RAM is fast. (Almost) no free memory in Windows means the end of the world; in Linux this is normal.
