Why is Linux reporting “free” memory strangely?

I have noticed that the cache memory on my vps always stays around the max value. I have nothing running at the moment and the memory breakdown is:

Mem: 1024 | used: 7MB | buffers: 0MB | cache 1013MB

Is this normal? If not, how can I fix this?

Yes, this is normal. Since the system has nothing else to do with the RAM, it just leaves data read from disk in it. That way, if the system needs the data again, it can save a disk access.
