I've always got a lot of inactive memory on my machine, around 520MB or so. While doing a portupgrade, the free memory dropped to around 13MB. I'm just curious what exactly the inactive memory is. Will the OS use the inactive memory before dipping into swap? Or is that memory off limits now? If so, is there any way to free it up? I've got 1GB total on the machine.
