Here is the output of free:

root@tilleyrw-desktop:/home/tilleyrw# free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:           502        495          7          0          9        140
-/+ buffers/cache:        345        157
Swap:          949         12        936

It has been written that having a majority of memory in use is OK, as then it 
available to be given to any program that needs memory.  In other words, I am 
not knowledgeable enough to interpret these numbers.

Can someone help me to read these numbers?

Thanks, Bob
