What Ubuntu do I have to install?

[DJ_HF]

Hello, I am a new Ubuntu user in Mexico City, sorry if my English skill and level isn't as good as yours, I hope you understand me.

I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my computer AMD DURON @ 1.3GHz 2GB of RAM and 80GB of HD and it runs great!

My brother saw my computer running with Ubuntu and he asked me to burn my CD to install it on his computer, but it didn't work, my brother has got laptop with: Pentium 3 500MHz 128MB of RAM and 10GB of HD.

I think that my brother has got an old computer to be able to run Ubuntu 9.10, so, what Ubuntu do I have to download and burn to my brother?

Thank you, guys. Greetings from Mexico City.

VIVA UBUNTU!

You have basically three options:

1. Try Xubuntu, which uses XFCE instead of Gnome and is less resource-hugry.
2. Try another distro like Debian or Zenwalk.
3. Install a command-line Ubuntu (or another distro) and build from there.

Xubuntu might just run on that, but its not going to be nice, and you will have heavy use on the swap partition all the time. I've run it on systems with far more RAM and a better CPU and its slow and sluggish. Even a minimal install, or Debian Xfce wont be much better.

I'd ty one of the lighter distros, myself.
