There's nothing wrong with `free` in "Linux". I didn't realize until after I posted that the `free` command here doesn't list the amount cached...that does severely limit its usefulness in Maemo/busybox to almost nil. :-/

I spend 99% of my time on server-sized *nix boxes where `free` is very quick/useful firefighting info.
