#Include <hallo.h>
After some days of uptime, i just stopped (nearly) all programs, unmounted
all unnecessary devices.
But top & free say that 1/3 of my RAM is still "used"
Here is what top means:
(Swap is 0K because i don't use Swap at all. Should i use swap?)

Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as
bad a concept in Text Editors as it is in women. No, the Real Programmer
wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated,
cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous.

Virtual memory is like a game you can't win;
However, without VM there's truly nothing to lose...
