My Windows system is reporting 84Mb free out of 3GB. Most of the rest is

well you only have 3GB. I've gotta bigger cache than you have!

This is where Linux does score.

I have more RAM than that (after my son gave me a free upgrade!) but I
have a 32-bit Windows licence.

Those who want slavery should have the grace to name it by its proper
name. They must face the full meaning of that which they are advocating
or condoning; the full, exact, specific meaning of collectivism, of its
logical implications, of the principles upon which it is based, and of
the ultimate consequences to which these principles will lead. They must
face it, then decide whether this is what they want or not.
