Out of Free Storage error

[hugh at descartes.intlpress.com (Hugh Rutledge)]

Good news.  I was considering the upgrade suggested,  but also wanted to
see how the machine I'm working on compared with its twin.  It appears the
messages I just sent out are its original configuration.  Because free now
reads:

Mem:         30844      28436       2408      18916       2772      13292
-/+ buffers/cache:      12372      18472
Swap:        34236       2036      32200

I am going to put off the upgrade thoughts until I get through the switch
in ISP's that I'm doing this month.

Hugh
