While it is common for modern machines to have at least a GiB of memory, older machines (2-3 years old) are (or IMO should be) a major target audience for Ubuntu.
Unfortunately, having 256MB of memory makes the machine almost entirely unusable for more than one task at a time.
Even the "minimalist" xubuntu is barely usable with this amount of memory.
I think Ubuntu should do some work on reducing memory usage to this level, at least for the xubuntu variant.

Automatically disable the touchpad when you are typing by specifying a number of seconds the touchpad stays inactive after you hit a button on the keyboard. This is very useful on laptops where it is very easy to accidentily touch the touchpad while typeing.
