Now, I could only get top to make sense... The Linux variant is much nicer and
makes sense even to a novice like me, saying:
Mem: 31260K av, 19000K used, 12260K free, 7672K shrd, 7352K buff
Swap: 66556K av, 104K used, 66452K free
whereas the bsdi top gives me:
Memory: Real: 304K/6716K Virt: 1560K/113M Free: 4944K
and "man top" doesn't explain it either
