[07:18] <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.
[07:21] <hateball> Antonis: What specs do you have?
[07:21] <hateball> Antonis: have you read the section on system requirements here? http://lubuntu.net/
[07:22] <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
[07:23] <hateball> Antonis: Well, the simplest way is to just install and try for yourself
[07:24] <Antonis> It is a toshiba satellite A300-1LT and it is too hot for modern OS.
[07:25] <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???
[07:27] <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 :)
[07:28] <Antonis> Excellent. Thank you very much. I will try it like an average user. Thank you and good bye
[07:29] <hateball> :)

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

[15:37] <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?
[19:32] <jack> test
[19:32] <jack> anyone ?
[19:32] <lynorian> hi jack anyway I can help?
[19:32] <jack> thanks god
[19:33] <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?
[19:34] <jack> this is cpu and ram specs
[19:34] <jack> http://prntscr.com/fh42sy
[19:37] <jack> hey, man. are you still with me?
[19:37] <lynorian> jack that will work more than fine
[19:38] <lynorian> it is even 64 bit
[19:38] <lynorian> jack my laptop I use lubuntu on has half the cores and half the ram
[19:39] <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
[19:40] <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
[19:42] <jack> it's fine, I've even sold the graphics card few weeks ago, I use the PC mostly for the work purpose now.
[19:43] <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?
[19:44] <jack> Or are there some tricks to make it work, to make it be able to give a preference which OS to load
