I recently decided to wipe out the windows xp install on an old dimension 4300 I had and I uploaded 12.10 on to it. It worked fine from the live cd on install but after I rebooted I could log in and then the desktop would not load. I figured it might be a problem with not having enough RAM and upgraded that. I am now running 1GB of RAM on it and still I am having issues with it loading. I think it might just be a little too old for the latest and greatest of Ubuntu. What would be a good older version to start with that would actually run on my Dimension until I build my new CPU (very excited about this as its my first!)
