cpu - Which version of Ubuntu is best suited for a Pentium 4




The question is pretty self-explanatory. I have a 2.8Ghz, 1GB RAM PC at my office. Windows is really slow on it and the Android Emulator never works properly on it. I am sure that Linux will definitely improve performance. What I can't decide is which version I should install?



P.S. Where can I find older versions of Ubuntu?



I see "ph1b" is best answer. You can download ubuntu 11.10, then update and finally download xfce or lxde desktop. lxde is lighter than xfce.



You can also download lubuntu like "Vic" said, but I tried and faced problem with it. I don't know why but you can try and you won't lose anything.



Anyway I think if you download ubuntu 11.10 with the default unity 3D, you will not face any problem anyway because it's requirements are 1GB RAM and 1 GHz processor only.




So download ubuntu 11.10 and try.
