Free memory seems low

[Anand Kolatkar]

	I am wondering if the following situation is normal:

	I work on a 4D-20 (3.3.1) with 8M memory.

	When I login when noone else is logged on or running anything, 
	osview shows only 1.2M of memory available (if I am logged in
	from a non console terminal) and 400-500K of memory when I
	login from the console.  This is the free memory showed by osview.

	Is it normal to have only 1/8 of the memory available?

	Any answers would be appreciated.
