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.
