I would agree.  I think that each release has used more memory.  After
the hardy upgrade my wife's system is running out of memory.  I'm
ashamed that Linux can't run well in .5 Gig.  She doesn't do much, but
with firefox, kmail, and openoffice running, she's out of RAM.  I
figure with another stick or two it should be fine again.
