If you look at the boot up messages, you find that the rest of the
memory is used by the kernel.

Memory: 14836k/16384k available (672k kernel code, 384k reserved, 492k data)

Hence, free shows only 14Meg of mem.

total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 14836 11520 3316 3744 5912 2312
-/+ buffers: 5608 9228
Swap: 24692 1504 23188
