What should I think of the "buffers" and "cached" memory? should I think they are part of free memory?
This is a verbatim copy of what I wrote down when I had this same question:
total used free shared buffers cac
+hed
Mem: 1034332 983572 50760 0 149028 530
+132
-/+ buffers/cache: 304412 729920
Swap: 131064 9856 121208
Mem: A B C D E
+ F
-/+ buffers/cache: G H
G+H = A
E+F+G = B ## probably D+E+F+G
C+E+F = H ## probably C+D+E+F

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
