Maybe you guys can help me here.
I used to have a Mandrake 8.1 box running as a server.  It had amongst it
things like Samba, Apache, Mysql, and sometimes a Counter-Strike server
running on it.
It would run until I rebooted it, so I rarely had problems with it.

Recently I got a wild idea to try RH 7.2 to see if it would work
better/worse than Mandrake.
Same setup as above, although for some reason it doesn't seem to do good
memory management.  If some program uses a bunch of memory for a while, and
then stops using it, the OS doesn't seem to go and claim it back as free
memory.  Eventually all the programs compalin that there's not a lot of
memory left until I reboot.  I end up having to do this almost every other
day.

Any ideas?

TIA.
