Will my netbook run smooth with ubuntu 12.04?

[pion33r]

my netbook em 350
1gb ram
hdd 150
1.67 processor
vcard shared 256

I want to know if i will have problems with my drivers and if my specs are sufficient.

It should be "ok" if you tweak things. But with Chrome open with 5 to 10 tabs I think you'll be close to RAM limits. :/

If you want to stick with Ubuntu and for those specs, I would recommend Lubuntu:

Or Linux Mint Xfce:

It'll probably run, but not smoothly. If you want smooth, try Lubuntu or Xubuntu.

Best way to find out if it'll run smooth and/or need fiddling with drivers is to boot a live USB and see.

Stick with 12.04 for now; long term support so you don't have to upgrade every year.

Newer versions tend to be heavier on resources so I would not worry about them.

That hardware will run Unity 2D with no problems at all (mine does). Give it a go with the standard download from ubuntu.com/download pion33r. At the log on screen, click the icon next to your name and select "Unity 2D" as the desktop environment.

Xubuntu/ Lubuntu are both fairly lightweight, but Fluxbox could be worth a try as well.
