"Honestly, I was expecting Ubuntu Portable to be quite resource hungry, but you should see somewhere around 12 MB of RAM used when running it. Of course, opening applications will increase this, but not by much. You'll have access to software like Abiword, Gnumeric, Totem Movie Player, Firefox, Pidgin and you will also be able to install new applications through the powerful Synaptic Package Manager. The terminal is there too if you want more in-depth control."
