911alertme Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I dragged out an old box I had lying around. It has a Celeron 500 (ish) processor and 192 MB of RAM. I installed Ubuntu on it but it is running too slow and keeps freezing. Can someone recommend a lighter distro that had plenty of features and would run faster on my system?

Blunderboy Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 If you still want to stick with the Ubuntu feel. try Kubuntu. It is a much lighter version and will run on a lot of those really old systems. I have a 7 year old system that is running who the hell knows what running 128mb RAM and it was running well until the video card died. Now it's just sitting there. But anyways, good luck.

Sparda Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 Xubuntu is supposedly the Ubuntu for old computers. I would personally install Ubuntu server then apt-get every thing needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
