Web interface is showing:

Code: Select all

Memory Usage:21.1MB / 60.5MB (34.9%)

while in Putty:

Code: Select all

/tmp$ free
              total         used         free       shared      buffers
  Mem:        61980        52516         9464            0         4092
 Swap:            0            0            0
Total:        61980        52516         9464

why so strange number in web interface?

[Eric]

The number in the web interface doesn't include the buffers. This is memory that Linux uses to cache information that it doesn't absolutely need -- it can be freed without problem if needed.
