<div>Seems correct to me or am I missing the point.</div>
<div><br>Mind you the 11 % is not counting what is used up for buffers and cache.</div>
<div>So if you look at the second line of your result from free you will see 54168 used which is your 11 % (before some hefty rounding). Note that the first line of free gives you the amount of mem used for caching and buffers on top of what applications use to come to a grand total of 253588 mem used. I am guessing thats the value you are looking at and thats what got you confused.
