setting up ubuntu laptop

[bruce]

Hi,

I know there's been a few off topic threads. This isn't one. However,
I'm looking to get opinions of the list regarding memory. I was
considering 16 or 32G ddr4 3200 (laptop). But, I'm finding that new 8G
laptop mem is either rare, or insanely expensive. So, was wondering if
I should bite the bullet, and go ahead with the 32.  From your
experience, does ubuntu run any "different" in noticeable ways with 16
vs 32?

thanks

ps. I know it would really depend on use case. And I expect the box
will be more for dev/proj mgmt, etc..
