>(The system is a Toshiba 1000 with 384MB ram 120GB disk) Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (10.04) will run on this at a respectable speed. What you might find is that after you've downloaded and installed updates it runs slow until you reboot it again - that's install reboot and then reboot again.
Surely though it can't be a big deal just to buy a bit more memory - undo a few screws and put that in. I reckon if you shop around on the net you'll get 1gb for under £20. Unfortunately I can't make the next LUG meeting otherwise I would have brought along a few screwdrivers. I'm assuming the processor is something around 1Ghz with above. Alternatively if you don't want to upgrade the memory you could try Ubuntu Light (Lite?).
