Hi there,

I haven't followed the thread, but somehow this just stuck 
in my eye. No, I don't know if this is useful, but here 
goes:

jaska at jjod600n:~/Works$ free
              total       used       free     shared 
   buffers     cached
Mem:       1035584    1019948      15636          0 
     38764     492168
-/+ buffers/cache:     489016     546568
Swap:      1951856      19364    1932492
jaska at jjod600n:~/Works$ cd
jaska at jjod600n:~$ uname -r
2.6.17-10-386

I have 1 Gb of memory installed. I should think that 
indicates as such. Yes, I'm running Edgy, no idea if it 
makes any difference.

Thought I'd give input, it's in the eyes of the beholders 
to make something of it. :)
