How to read Server Load

I know, i know, for many of you this is a stupid question... but honestly i don't know what does the lil number on server load really means. (RH)

If I have a Server Load or load average of 0.10... out of what? out of 100%?? this means i'm using less than 1% of the server capacity? or 1.00 means 100%??

Thanks in advance How to read Server Load
