Yes it will install and work. With a web browser it's a bit tight, and may
end up swapping to disk. Neverthless, impressive, right now for me on OS X
the kernel is taking up 700MB alone; and "wired" memory is 1.34GB. So yeah…
oinkster.
I have Fedora 20 running on a laptop with 1.5gb of RAM. Gnome desktop is
slow, but usable.
I also have it running on an eee 900 mini-laptop, also with 1.5gb or RAM
using the XFCE desktop. It's slow, and just bearable.
