When i start the computer in the morning it shows a
free memmory of 245 mb and by end of the day it
reduces to 10 mb or less. (using Redhat8.0) It
doesn't affect any of the performance. But my
question is why it is so, do i need to worry about
this.
No you need worry not. This is general behaviour of
unix like systems. Once a programme exited, the RAM is
flushed only when there is shortage of memory for
something else. That's why you will see that,
generally programmes start quicker second time than
first time.
