HowTo: Check Ram Size From Redhat Linux Desktop System

by

You can check the RAM size on a Red Hat Linux desktop system using the following steps:

  1. Open a terminal window. You can do this by clicking on the terminal icon in the applications menu or by using the shortcut Ctrl + Alt + T.
  2. Type the following command and press Enter:
free -h
  1. The output will show the total amount of RAM installed on your system, as well as the amount that is currently being used and the amount that is available. The -h option causes the output to be displayed in human-readable format (e.g., GiB instead of bytes).

For example, the output might look like this:

total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 7.7G 4.0G 2.0G 179M 1.7G 3.2G
Swap: 7.9G 188M 7.7G

In this example, the total amount of RAM is 7.7GB.
