It doesn't change Hardware properties or anything like that. If you are still interested in Ubuntu installation, post your machine specs here. RAM, Processor and Graphics Card etc. __________________ It takes a lot of time to be a genius, you have to sit around so much doing nothing, really doing nothing. - Gertrude Stein New Users: Read This First

Upgrade RAM if possible. 512MB is enough. OR Try lightweight distros. XUbuntu should run fine in your machine. __________________ It takes a lot of time to be a genius, you have to sit around so much doing nothing, really doing nothing. - Gertrude Stein New Users: Read This First

Xfce is also available in SuSe Installation DVD. __________________ It takes a lot of time to be a genius, you have to sit around so much doing nothing, really doing nothing. - Gertrude Stein New Users: Read This First
