Hello. 

I typically find that no matter how much memory I throw at a Linux box,
that the system RAM will usually only have 7-10M (meg) free, even with
configurations  of 1 GIG of RAM. I know that the filesystem uses a vast
amount of this RAM as cache and buffers, but how do I set this so that it
uses UP TO a certian amount. Some non-vital componets get swapped to disk
(viewable via TOP), and I'd prefer that if I had 1 GIG of RAM in a system,
and the only thing running is samba, that 500M be FREE! =)

Thanks alot,

Aton
