Post subject:  ram question

Is there a way to see how much ram linux sees.
I have 512mb but not sure what my machine thinks.

I guess you could just use "top" from the console. You could also use Myth's system info screen. I think it shows ram usage.

The command "free" will give you what you are after.

mythtv@mythtv:~$ free
