Does anyone know how VMware Server 2.0 calculates memory usage.
I have 5 guests running and the GUI tells me that only 584MB is being 
used totally.  IMO, that is not much. 

I just installed a CentOS 5.2 guest today and did updates.  VMware is
telling me that the guest is using 25MB.  Free on the guest tells me
a totally different story.

[cfowler at nagios ~]$ free
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:        515488     429860      85628          0      83500     275940
-/+ buffers/cache:      70420     445068
Swap:       522104          0     522104
