	Does anyone have a fairly accurate method for determining
	how much memory is actually being used on a Linux box?
	
	The linux in question is RedHat Enterprise Server 4.

...yes, free(1):

[root_at_tmr6s14 ~]# free

total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 32752464 1904580 30847884 0 65444 1523444

-/+ buffers/cache:     315692   32436772
Swap:      2040244          0    2040244

...you rephrased the question after posting to the oaktable,
phrased this way took a lot less typing to answer :)
