Hi!
I have mysterious Problem:
90 % of my Ram are used (340 MB), but 0 Byte of my Swap (2GB) is used and about about 150 MB are swappable.

^^^^^^
You have ~230M of 380M free.
Nothing mysterious here.

Ok maybe I wasn't able to read the /free/ output correctly, but why is no swap used (more than 60% ram are used)?
