Hi Rob, I didn't took observation of my system with Live CD, I did my installation using 256+128 MB RAM using Live CD and later i removed 128 MB and brought up system with 256MB RAM, the observation given above is of my harddisk installed ubuntu and not Live CD. I can see a big swap usage but still performance is acceptable , since i can play movies, mp3 songs, can do codnig using kdevelop, can access internet with 10 tabs of mozilla and play Chromium.
