Is something wrong?? Do I need 32meg to run linux well?? I >just want an mp3 player and gps > See my earlier reply - you need 32M if you have any chance of M8.1 working well, it's a memory hog, particularly with kde2.2. It will still be slow - I did the timings as a comparison some weeks ago but I don't have them with me, but iirc around thre and a half minutes from power to kde desktop under M8.1. I'd recommend the upgrade anyway.
