HH: Yep, I would be happy with those specs . . . mine is 933 MHz with 646 MB RAM . . . Lu "runs" fine, everything works, but for anything needing cpu "thought" like update/upgrade, or even typing an email in the browser, the fan runs loudly such that it is "disruptive" to my thought patterns . . . . This is "new" behavior, since 12.04 which ran very well and more or less quietly; but 16.04 runs better than 14.04 did, etc.
RAM is "maxed" on the iBook . . . no worries, on PPC I've got my PM ST with an aftermarket cpu set for 1.2 GHz and maxed at 2 GB RAM . . . but I've got U-MATE PPC installed on that one with the extra "juice" . . . . I'm thinking that 2 GB is the "real" "minimum" for doing stuff on the web . . . . I have tested the live LU session on the PM and reported that it "ran well" here on the list, and perhaps on the forum, etc. F On Sun, Jul 24, 2016 at 2:09 PM, Herminio Hernandez Jr. < herminio.hernande...@gmail.com> wrote: > Fritz, > > What are the specs of your iBook?
