[Smaug] Interesting linux test

[Peter Belew]

How much RAM do you have on the system.  I have a couple old systems
like that - one with FC1 and the other with a server (no gui) installation
of breezy ubuntu. They have only 64 mb of RAM and that didn't seem
to be enough for Gnome with Ubuntu. FC1 works, but it's not really
swift.
