Since when does a GNU/Linux desktop need more than 8GB?


        Stefan "running Firefox in 3GB of RAM"


PS: Yes, I know that the amd64 build of some programs require insane
    amounts of address space nowadays (e.g. in my tests, Firefox refused
    to even start if you `limit addressspace 16G'), but that's address
    space, not real RAM or swap.
