I would agree with that. My machine has 2 GB of RAM and the "free"
command shows the following usage:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 2064448 885924 1178524 0 201544 338088
-/+ buffers/cache: 346292 1718156
Swap: 2048276 0 2048276
Linux happily eats up 885 MB of which about 540 Mb is for buffers and
cache. Which is fine with me because it keeps my swap usage at zero ;-)
