My Linux system is using all 2GB of my RAM and zero swap. Linux uses the extra RAM to keep the system up to speed and stable - the RAM is mostly used for disk cache. Don't worry if it's always maxed out, Linux's resource management is far better than Windows. If you launch something that requires like 500-1024MB RAM, Linux will very easily allocate that RAM to the program without slowing down.
