An experiment to prove that Linux is not eating your RAM. Linux borrows unused RAM for disk caching but it shows you are low on memory, but that's not the case.

It was never a myth. Look at the source code! All modern OS's do this.
Thank you for let us know that you bloged about it.
Btw sometimes I can even hear my Linux digesting some RAM. Linux is a strange animal.
Been known for a while that this is the case. There's even a site about it that has existed for a while. http://linuxatemyram.com/
Yeah...I looked on this as well. He explained it quite well.
Good reading. actually.
Now, when I told my nephew that Linux eats penguin and the Internet was powered by thousands of little hamsters, that's a myth :P
I read http://linuxatemyram.com/ few days ago & i know that now,
Thank you to share that though.
