It's a Intel Atom 230 1.6ghz 1 core with HT, 2GB RAM, 500gb SSHD. Would Lubuntu run well with this? [22:41] dreamscape: yep [22:41] though i will say if it's a server, i wouldn't use a gui at all [22:42] I need to have a browser for downloads otherwise yeah i would ditch the gui in a second. [22:42] Is it wise to use the 32 bit version on older hardware or 64 bit? I don't have any plans to go 4gb RAM with this little machine. [22:42] you could use wget? [22:42] i'd say go 64 bit [22:42] as long as your machine supports it, which it should [22:43] It does indeed have a 64 bit capable CPU. Albeit very old... ha! [22:43] there's really no negative to doing 64 bit if the machine is capable [22:43] but there can be negatives to doing 32 bit [22:44] we've generally suggested to use 32 bit unless you're sure, which works (32 bit runs everywhere) but i don't love that suggestion [22:44] great thank you [22:45] no problem [22:45] enjoy your new OS :) [22:46] I've been using Ubuntu MATE, the machine runs well in the actual OS but in browsers/download manager it maxes the CPU and becomes unusable :( hopefully Lubuntu will be better. [22:47] mate is fairly light but we're a little hardcore about light, so it should give you a little extra edge [23:01] hello
