[Gllug] memory usage in linux

[Pavel Bradut Boghita]

This is my first posting on this list so greetings to you all.
I have been using linux for over a year, but only recently started to learn 
more about the system as such. By running 'top' I've noticed that a great 
deal of memory is being used. I had 128 M of memory and the system was using 
most of it. Now I have 384 and 226 is being used. I understand that this is 
normal, but I haven't yet understood what hides behind this high memory 
usage. Could someone be kind enough to give me a short explanation or maybe 
point to some useful resource that they may know of ?

Thanks.

Bradut
