Re: [orca-list] netbooks and gnome/orca/firefox

[Andre Nuno Soares <ans meo pt>]

Hello all,

Until recently my system was a PIII with 512MB of RAM, running Ubuntu
Intrepid.
I ran Firefox, evolution, openoffice, transmission, etc with no problem,
except for some obvious swapping.

Memory is the critical resource, so the more the merrier. 1 GB should be
enough,though. 
If you go for a netbook with a SSD you'll feel the whole system much
snappier.
