Define "runs just fine", please. Default desktop environment with some 
commonly used applications like Firefox and Thunderbird? My Thunderbird 
expands to over 150MB of RAM when it loads.

And then there's LibreOffice...

If "runs just fine" is intended to mean "average desktop use", I don't 
think the experience with 256MB of RAM fits the description.
