I have 768 MB RAM in a 400 Mhz Tibook and I do eat for longer than 20 minutes several times a day :-), leaving the computer to act at it's own will. However it will go to sleep fairly quickly. Are you suggesting that I should change the sleep time to something longer in order to achieve Unix maintenance?
