First post from new (old) linux box.

Hey Anandtech,

Just wanted to thank you all for pointing me in the direction of UBUNTU Linux distro...it's very nice, I like it a lot so far. It's working quite well on this old box...1.2 Ghz 256 RAM I believe...but I'm too lazy to check. Either way, It's working and I'm very happy.

That's still a nice box...

Except the ram.

Open up a console, type 'free'. It's not hard

256Mb RAM will do, 512 will do even better. I wish you a nice time using Ubuntu and I hope it becomes your primary O/S one day
