Hey first of all, I'm new here :)
I'm sorry if this is the incorrect forum couldn't find better one.
Well I'm on my way to get rid of Windows and switch to Linux, note this is not my first Linux experience I used Mandrake, Fedora and Gentoo previously.
Well I wanted to ask few questions before Installing:
1. I've got 64bit processor, should I use the 64bit edition of Ubuntu? (Processor model below).
2. I understood that there are a lot of different version like Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu and etc. So I wanted to ask if I'll install Ubuntu I will be able than to remove Gnome and Install lets say XFCE or Flux/Blackbox right? Just to be sure :)
3. Is 1Gb of RAM enough to run normally Ubuntu? Main usage of the PC is mostly C/C++, Java, PHP development (including 3D graphics with OpenGL, work with Databases), Music listening, movie watching and surfing.
4. Will this hardware supported by Ubuntu?
Processor: Intel Pentium 4 3000Mhz Prescott HTT(Hyper threading technology) Support 64bit x86 Extension(AMD64 Intel64)
Motherboard: Asus P5P800S
RAM: 2x512MB Dual Channel Kingston DDR SDRAM
Video Card: Inno3D nVidia GeForce 6600 AGP 256MB
Hard disk: ExcelStore Technology J880 80GB
LAN card: Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC (onboard)
Audio card: Analog Devices AD1888 @ Intel 82801EB ICH5 - AC'97 Audio Controller [A-2/A-3] (onboard)
Monitor: LG LCD Flatron 1760TR 17" DVI
Will any problem could occur with this kind of hardware?
Thanks a lot and sorry if this is a wrong forum.
