Depends what you want to do with them. I know a few people who have

512MiB is the maximum RAM it will take. It runs just fine as a

I'll be looking into running several apps off it (whatever it is, in the

Definitely liking the looks of those crazy Viglens, though.

Does anyone know if there is a trusted dropbox nautilus plugin for Jaunty?
I've found a private repo on google, but I was wondering if there was
something more official. So I suppose it is an opinion rather than a
web search I need. :-)

Somewhere on the forums there was a link to the development version.
