The command
free -m shows the same information in megabytes, which are easier to read.

If you prefer a graphical interface for
free, you can use the GNOME System Monitor. To start it from the desktop, go to > > or type gnome-system-monitor at a shell prompt (such as an XTerm). Click on the Resources tab.
