The difference is between 2:3.3.9-9 and 2:3.3.10-2 (which recently entered Debian testing). The older version of free has a "-/+ buffers/cache" line, and the Free entry in the "-/+ buffer/cache" line is equivalent to the available line. So you're version of free looks like this: total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 15G 7.1G 8.2G 421M 303M 1.6G -/+ buffers/cache: 5.2G ===> 10G <=== Swap: 0B 0B 0B - Ted ; > > > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux" in > the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
