Nightmare!

Nightmare!Then I walk all the way home again (not far, but that's not the point.) Now I do not have my own PC at this new house, nor do I own my own laptop, I've been meaning to get one, but every time I decide which spec machine I want someone goes and brings out a spiffy new processor or something and so I never get round to committing to a machine. So anyway, the house I am living in has a computer which everyone can use, so I go to upload the pictures and have a look at them. It is now I find out the desktop is ancient and only has 192mb of RAM and is using a knock off copy of XP so the photoviewer does not work properly. Does this site have a swear filter on it yet? Time to buy my own PC I think. |

192MB of RAM? Lawks! I remember when my PC had 2MB of RAM, and that was an extravagance. Though anything running XP isn't going to work properly, no matter how fancy the specs. |

12th Mar 2008, 7:40 PM I just checked out Ubuntu. It says it requires at least 256 mb of RAM to run the install. I get the feeling I may be wasting my time. It definitely looks interesting though. Are you using it? |

Yes I do use Ubuntu. Linux is better at running on lower spec machines, but Ubuntu is probably the flashiest of Linux distributions, so it may require more oomph (though I think they're being rather cautious with their requirements).
