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.

Sweet I like it:

Code:
mythtv@mythtv:~$ free
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:        773852     224984     548868          0       8620      36788
-/+ buffers/cache:     179576     594276
Swap:       698816          0     698816
