Yikes, I'd need 4G of memory then. I can't afford that!

Obviously as a developer one compiles a lot. But I do like that Debian has
binary packages, that's for sure.

I've got 1Gb. That has been fine on x86 and it was relatively affordable.
(The machine I'm upgrading only had 512M.) One downside of the small form
factor machine is that there are only two memory sockets so it would take
1G DIMMs to go higher. Currently there is a premium for anything over
512M...
