So, I'm somewhat new to the whole Ubuntu world. But I decided to give it a go with a somewhat old computer. I was looking at the installation requirements for the full Ubuntu installation, and this computer doesn't meet all of the specifications. I'm just wondering, should I use an older edition of Ubuntu, or use something like Xubuntu or Lubuntu?
Here are my specifications:
Dell Dimension 2400
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.66 GHz
System memory: 254MB RAM
Resolution: 1024 x 768 (32 bit) (75 Hz)
I would want to wipe all the Windows stuff from this and have it be a dedicated Ubuntu computer (not dual-boot or something…), so that memory is all that it has (not just available).
Any help would be appreciated, since I have no idea what I'm doing on the Ubuntu front…
EDIT: Actually, I did use Ubuntu for a programming class, but only for a semester, so I am (hardly) familiar with Ubuntu.
