There's no need to up your RAM. I ran Lubuntu on a Thinkpad T42 laptop with
3 GB of RAM for years. Lubuntu is a version of Ubuntu that uses many
alternative programs with lower demands, and the graphical environment is
much smaller than in Ubuntu.

It installs in 256 MB of RAM, ran nicely on my 3GB laptop, and at idle used
around 300mb of RAM.

I got faster and better laptops, but still ran Lubuntu until just recently -
on a quad core laptop with 8gb of RAM.


... Where are we now?
