A few minutes ago I signed up at a new webhost. I have yet to move my sites over. Upon initial SSH connection, I checked the load and memory usage, they do seem rather higher than I would like:
# uptime
12:06:51 up 71 days, 23:23, 1 user, load average: 9.02, 9.49, 9.45
# free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 33014800 31927192 1087608 0 2384812 17729816
-/+ buffers/cache: 11812564 21202236
Swap: 16787916 8584 16779332
Is that a bit to packed? I'm only paying about $5 USD per month, so I don't expect <0.1 loads, but ~10 is worrisome. Is it not?
Also, there is no /etc/issue
file so I tried other methods to guess the OS:
# uname -a
Linux box358.bluehost.com 2.6.32-20120131.55.1.bh6.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jan 31 15:43:27 EST 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
# which yum
/usr/bin/yum
# which apt-get
#
That looks like CentOS / RHEL 6.2 possibly?
