have gotten another 128MB stick so I now have 256MB on my lappy and XUBUNTU
works much better.
Great for upping up the minimum and recommended specification.
Was really annoyed by this since it was something similar that MS does to
promote its products. I mean the minimum specs for WinXP are a jo
Sounds fine to me, changed.

I think bumping the min to 192mb and the recommended to 256mb would be fair.

Xubuntu website team: should we consider changing the minimum
requirements for xubuntu-based systems? 128mb *works*, but is sluggish.

just one more comment
firefox takes a lot of memory -- an alternate browser is probably better for
low mem systems
opera is probably already better
for real low mem systems dillo might also be a solution

Y
exact xubuntu requirement on site are the following :
To run the Desktop CD (LiveCD + Install CD), you need 128 MB RAM to run or 192
MB RAM to install. The Alternate Install CD only requires you to have 64 MB RAM.
To install Xubuntu, you need 1.5 GB of free space on your hard disk.
Once installed
Tha main problem with XUBUNTU is that on the default install U can not
do anything on the desktop. Because it is simply to sluggish to even
open up Start Menu and this is without any other open problems.
So XUBUNTU is NOT for low memory machines. Even a friend of mine tried
XUBUNTU on a 128MB RAM.
try KDE - i found that it actually runs better than XFCE does on ALL my
systems. from my high-end computer at home to my outdated laptop at
work, XFCE was actually slower to respond (in every aspect...) than KDE.
if it's good enough for linus, it's good enough for me.

Xubuntu works terrible
Thx for the link, But still on XUBUNTU site it says suitable for 128MB ram. I
have tried it and it works so slow even without any open programs.
So it should be changed to at least 256MB RAM
