I was told this would be a popular topic, so just for grins and giggles...
I have an older PC which was running ******* 2000, I killed the Doze and installed Ubuntu 8.10 on there. It actually runs pretty well, but it is pretty obvious that I am close to maxing out the machine in terms of performance.
The processor is an AMD Athlon 1000Mhz and it had 384,368KB of memory and a 40 gig hardrive, which at the moment pretty much only has the standard Ubuntu install on it. I took all the Windows files off and started over.
This is a machine that the kids are now using, so the distro should have pretty good user management tools and run multi-media pretty well.
Those are the parameters...discuss...
Thanks!
Bill
