This leads me to ask about the equivalent for most Linux desktop
setups.
What is the "sweet spot" for RAM in a typical, say, Ubuntu desktop box?
The point at which diminishing returns from improved functionality
intersects with the increase in cost.
128-256MB if you just want to run the desktop (not wildly helpful to
anyone).
512MB if you want to do some stuff as well (say, Firefox or
OpenOffice.org).
1GB if you want to feel fairly pacey while doing some stuff (disk cache).
not unlike XP, I'd guess
Yep, that's pretty much the sweet spot for XP as well.
