Looks OK to me. This machine is running FC6 x86-64 and here's what
free -m gives me;

$ free -m
                   total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          2006       1872        134          0        227       1225
-/+ buffers/cache:        419       1587
Swap:          500          0        500
