Re: 12.04 LTS vs. WinXP
What I've done is install Ubuntu as a full version and then installed the LXDE desktop environment. I'm down to 250-300 MB for a full booted machine.
Lubuntu works good too but doesn't offer a LTS edition like the full Ubuntu. So since the Ubuntu series all have the same core its a matter of picking and choosing what you want.
The smallest install (Lubuntu) I've managed to do is a Sony VAIO laptop 800 MHz AMD single core processor with 192 MB of RAM on a 10 GB hard drive. It works just fine but a bit slow to work with.
