Is that normal? Because our server is only 74 day's
online and I think it only runs 20 site's?
 
Pretty much normal..... I just checked a static server (running 0 sites) and got the following (standard redhat install)

Total: 1007
used: 657
free: 349

What you stated seems nothing that isn't normal :)

Hello,

Yes, it's normal. Linux will use up all the memory to do various house cleaning things, and will free up that memory if any program needs it.
