Thanks.  My only data point was that GIMP hadn't been crashing under I386
Debian.  Next time I'll submit a crash report; it's the right thing to do.

I guess the 4GB system will get random use as a wandering client.  I
already have a Pi3 running nginx as a local web server.  The appeal is the
slightly lower power requirement.
