As far I remember you can run Ubuntu with 256 MB Ram, but the it will be *VERY* slow, but you can give it a shot.
There is a way to improve the responsiveness , if you have powerquest partition manager in windows and you want to install Ubuntu, then create 2 partitions, one 4GB+ another (256MB*2) using the partition manager, format it as Linux Swap then boot into the live CD. Performance should be better. -- ubuntu-bd mailing list ubuntu-bd@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bd
