[12:23] <saj> Hello All.
[12:24] <saj> I was wondering if Ubuntu Budgie was suitable for an old computer (8 years old) and a novice user?
[12:41] <fossfreedom_> saj: Hi
[12:41] <fossfreedom_> how much ram has the PC ?
[12:43] <saj> 2GB
[12:44] <fossfreedom_> what is the processor ?
[12:45] <saj> It is an AMD one. I think it has 2 cores. and a Nvidia graphics card
[12:48] <fossfreedom_> yep - it should work. budgie-desktop is very easy to use.  Our welcome app should be useful.  My advice - write the ISO to a USB stick and boot with it.  Check graphics/networking etc works for you.  Have a look around - especially the welcome app.
[12:48] <fossfreedom_> 17.04 is launched on April 13th
[12:49] <fossfreedom_> alternatively - you could try 16.04.2 - our latest version based on the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS edition
[12:51] <saj> How does it compare to Lubuntu and Xubuntu in terms of resources used?
[12:52] <fossfreedom_> it sits between xubuntu and ubuntu gnome/unity
[12:59] <saj> Thanks for the advice I will give it a crack.
