Confusing desktop system requirements (from [Bug 237114])

[Luke L]

I would think the 256M/4G is correct as a minimum, and the 384M/8G is
recommended. I do see that the second one says "recommended minimum"
which is a little confusing.

If you are looking for which is correct, I'd say that 256/4 could run
a minimum installation.
