This top on Jaunty after 24 hours.

down. It appears that Jaunty needs a minimum of 2 GB of RAM.

This is Hardy after just a few minutes with firefox also running:


top - 10:55:05 up 4 min,  2 users,  load average: 0.90, 1.02, 0.47
Tasks: 125 total,   3 running, 122 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie

Swap:  1959920k total,        0k used,  1959920k free,   374040k cached

        As you can see Hardy uses 0K of Swap: So it can work with just
1GB of RAM.
