system installation - Which version is compatible with my 8 year old dell?


My computer has 1gb of Ram, Intel(R) Pentium(R) D 2.80GHz.


Should I install Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 32bit or 64bit or Ubuntu 13.04 32bit or 64bit?


I know Ubuntu has a word processor, but am I correct in assuming that I can install MS office 2007?



With specs like those I would say 12.04 32bit but you might want to try something lighter like Lubuntu or Kubuntu.


As for your second question I want to say no. You can open the documents with MS office formats using LibreOffice but I'm not sure that you can install that in Ubuntu.
