[cod] Linux vs. Windows

[Fredric Ollikala]

Well Linux uses the memory in another than Windows does,  so it appears that 
its using more than than it really does. If you boot a Linux machine with 
512 MB of RAM and let it be, you will see after a while that the memory 
usage is high even though no program/process is running. Type "top" and 
press ctrl+m to see memory/cpu usage in Linux.
