a machine without cache/buffers ?

[Lior Kaplan]

I got an output for the free command from a friend with the comment this is
weired, as the machine
doesn't use any cache or buffers.

total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:        524288     419624     104664          0          0          0
-/+ buffers/cache:     419624     104664
Swap:            0          0          0

I too didn't see any Linux machine in this situation. Any idea?

I know cleaning the buffers with /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches but no disabling
them at all.
