After certain annoying circumstances, some crack addict robbing my house, I<br>

For the first three months of this year I was reliant on<br>
an old Pentium IV with 512MB RAM. It's been running alpha<br>
versions of Ubuntu 12.04, with the XMonad desktop - as long<br>
as I didn't have too many browser tabs open, and avoided most<br>
use of Flash it was fine.<br>
<br>
(I upped it to 2GB last week, now it's flying ;)<br>
<br>
It will run a GNOME desktop if you need it, but XMonad<br>
really is the best window manager out there :-)<br>
