system installation - Dell Inspiron 1150 - Ubuntu Linux 14.04 LTS Trusty Tahr

I have an old Dell Inspiron 1150 .... Celeron 2.60GHz .... 1GB of memory
512MBDDR PC2700 X2


Purchased in 2004. It was the family laptop for years. Now it's become the TurboTax computer with no other real purpose. Already copied needed files to an external hard drive.


Waiting for delivery of Ubuntu:
Ubuntu Linux 14.04 LTS Trusty Tahr Desktop 64 bit Live DVD/Install Disc.


Will 14.04 work? I want to do a single install. Want XP wiped off the unit entirely. The Dell is so larded-up with unnecessary stuff that I want a fresh start.
