Is it normal to have not more than 40-45 MB of Available Memory even after closing all running apps?

I guess so because that is all I have ever had when closing apps. Which would mean that android is using 88mb of ram. Is that even right??? I thought Linux was supposed to be small. Perhaps there is a way to make more memory available? Even better... What about using some of the internal flash for a swap file??? it would give us at least 128mb more ram technically. Any Ideas in enabling this feature? I know my android phone has something similar.

Yes its normal. I have an HTC magic and at most I have 40mb free once killing all apps. Check out startup auditor app lets u stop opening certain processes and apps on startup.

Just get into the habit of using App Killer every time you finish doing anything on the device.

Just wondering whether a pagefile system could be developed in custom roms so a large 16gb sdcard could be used as a scratch disk leaving core ram largely free.

As i wrote, even you close (kill) everything you dont get more than 45 MB.

I know this can be done I just don't know how with this device. I have seen it don't over at XDA-Developers and I have partitioned my SD card so that my phone can do it. Any Ideas? Anyone?
