free command question
 

I have the box and here is the outpt of the free command.


# free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 11857 11325 532 0 71 948
-/+ buffers/cache: 10304 1552
Swap: 2047 95 1952


Does it mean it has high memory usage? I believe 10304 MB in cache and shouldn't be a problem. Please help me to understand.

PatrickNew gives a good explanation of what the memory usage figures mean in this thread:
