| Antonis | Hello to everyone. I want to ask a small question and I am going to leave the chat. Do you know the minimum specs to install lubuntu on a laptop?? In ubuntu Downloads page refers the minimum specs and I do not cover the minimum. Thank you in advance. | 07:18 |
|---|---|---|
| hateball | Antonis: What specs do you have? | 07:21 |
| hateball | Antonis: have you read the section on system requirements here? http://lubuntu.net/ | 07:21 |
| Antonis | Yes, it says not more than 10 years but later says at least 1 GB RAM. I do not cover the first part of the sentence but I am OK with 1 GB RAM. Maybe, it means about horsepower | 07:22 |
| hateball | Antonis: Well, the simplest way is to just install and try for yourself | 07:23 |
| Antonis | It is a toshiba satellite A300-1LT and it is too hot for modern OS. | 07:24 |
| Antonis | Intel Centrino processor technology featuring Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB DDR2 RAM (800 MHz), ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD 3470. Are these specs enough to work easy on that OS??? | 07:25 |
| Antonis | What is your opinion hateball about these specs? | 07:27 |
| hateball | Antonis: Well, it should run the OS itself without issue | 07:27 |
| hateball | Antonis: but if you want to say... run a browser with many tabs etc, then the RAM is a bit low | 07:27 |
| hateball | Like I said tho, it's free to install and use so you can just try it for yourself :) | 07:27 |
| Antonis | Excellent. Thank you very much. I will try it like an average user. Thank you and good bye | 07:28 |
| hateball | :) | 07:29 |

| Roach | I need to know: Is Lubuntu the most lightweight of the ubuntu distro? | 14:20 |
| Roach | I need to strip it down to create only basic terminal services. | 14:21 |
| Roach | nvm | 14:23 |

| Guest81353 | So I am trying to install a modern-ish operating system on a Dell Dimension 4500. Currently it is running Windows XP, it has a 32-bit processor and a CD-ROM Drive. Got any recommendations for what version of lubuntu to install on it? | 15:37 |
| jack | test | 19:32 |
| jack | anyone ? | 19:32 |
| lynorian | hi jack anyway I can help? | 19:32 |
| jack | thanks god | 19:32 |
| jack | look i got an old pc and want to install a lubuntu on it | 19:33 |
| jack | but | 19:33 |
| jack | i don't know for sure if it will be fine for my cpu | 19:33 |
| lynorian | jack what cpu is it? | 19:33 |
| jack | this is cpu and ram specs | 19:34 |
| jack | http://prntscr.com/fh42sy | 19:34 |
| jack | hey, man. are you still with me? | 19:37 |
| lynorian | jack that will work more than fine | 19:37 |
| lynorian | it is even 64 bit | 19:38 |
| lynorian | jack my laptop I use lubuntu on has half the cores and half the ram | 19:38 |
| lynorian | now might not be good for running the linux version of steam | 19:39 |
| jack | OK :) Thanks for this happy news then. One more question, please. I have a windows xp installed right now and i want to keep it after the installation of the lubuntu. Is this possible to do? | 19:39 |
| jack | Oh, well, that should be fine for sure then on this PC. | 19:39 |
| lynorian | yes | 19:39 |
| jack | I don't really use steam lately but I used to some time ago | 19:40 |
| lynorian | yeah some games might work but some will not unless you upgraded the gpu | 19:40 |
| jack | it's fine, I've even sold the graphics card few weeks ago, I use the PC mostly for the work purpose now. | 19:42 |
| jack | So what about the installation of linux on the same computer. Shall I simply install it on the flash drive as installation files and later install it on my second hard drive then? | 19:43 |
| jack | Or are there some tricks to make it work, to make it be able to give a preference which OS to load | 19:44 |
