#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?)

  9:54pm up 11 days, 23 min, 4 users, load average: 0.00, 0.22, 0.52

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.
