[ASK] Memory on OpenVZ VPS

Hello,
I have an openVZ VPS with 2GB of RAM and 512MB os vSWAP memory.
Using free -m command, it shows this following result
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 2048 2048 0 260 0 1084
-/+ buffers/cache: 963 1084
Swap: 512 162 349
I don't have any FREE memory, instead the memory eaten up by the cached.. Does this situation is normal and not causing any trouble on the node? My VPS is still running normal and served the visitor normally.
Thanks...

Completely 100% normal, desirable and expected
The second line shows how much ram is actually in use/committed i.e. 963mb

Yeah, you have 1.08GB ready to be used whenever needed. This caching mechanism makes your server faster.
