I guess it would help if I send the email to the entire list not just
one person :P

 On my CentOS VM (a 2.6.18 kernel), free -m shows the correct amount of
 RAM. On the other hand, my desktop running Fedora 15 (2.6.38) shows that
 I'm missing 40MB:

 [moggers@delta6thc ~]$ free -m
              total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
 Mem:          2008       1299        709          0         84        594
 -/+ buffers/cache:        621       1387
 Swap:         3839          0       3839

 I'm just wondering if we've always had this "lost" RAM, but only
recent
 kernels show it.
