kubuntu should work with 128 mb ram , but to install with kubuntu live cd is difficult because it will take forever to run , as live cd needs more ram if you install it with the alternate install cd , then you should be able to use kubuntu , it will be slow but should be usable , or you can try xubuntu with will be faster than kubuntu regards _______________________________________________ Ilug-cal-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://list.ilug-cal.org/mailman/listinfo/ilug-cal-discuss ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
