memory troubles?

[Ashley Benton]

Thanks,
With df -h
filesystem     size      used       avail    used%    mounted on

/dev/hda3       345G    5.1 G     331G      2%          /
varrun            252M    100K      252M      1%          /var/run
varlock          252M          0      252M       0%          /var/lock
udev              252M    100K      252M       1%         /dev/
devshm         252M          0      252M       0%          /dev/shm
lrm                252M     34M      218M      14%
/lib/modules/2.66.22-14-generic/volatile

Yes apparently home and everything else has a lot of free space, do you have
any idea of what is using the memory? everything is closed except top and
one terminal, and I have no idea where to look. I have the desktop effects
enables but compiz-real is only using 4.4% MEM and 0.2 or 0.3 CPU.
Thanks
Meg
