    /dev/hda3 6.8G 2.8G 3.7G 44% /usr
    /dev/hda2 6.8G 682M 5.8G 11% /var


    the memtotal is only showing 6 numbers 247504 and that is farther 1gb ram.
    what's wrong with it ? or is that normal ? :confused:

    Might want to check with your provider to see whats going on, looks like you have 256MB of RAM.
    Use this command (in SSH) and paste the results

    cat /proc/meminfo
