ram size
 
Hi

I would like to know how much build in ram my old labtop has.
I have installed Red Hat 9 ( the minimum option since not enough disk space) . The interface is simply a command prompt . What command can I use ? I'm lost .

Do I need to be in a special directory?

Thanks for you help
Hugh :confused:

use the command 'free' it will tell you how much memory (and swap space) you have installed and how much is currently used (ie how much free vs used-by-programs memory you have).

That worked! Just what I needed

Thanks
