HI

I just rebooted my workstation, and I ran a "free -m". I realised that
I'm already using swap even though I've got so much free ram. Anyone
know why this is?

free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          1244       1227         17          0         37        636
-/+ buffers/cache:        553        691
Swap:         1993         13       1979


Thanks
Dan
