upgrade from Lubuntu 12 LTS to Lubuntu 14 LTS on the extremely old desktop?

[Fritz Hudnut]

@et al:

Just to report the "continuing saga" of PPC . . . last night, back over in
the 933 MHz iBook w/546MB RAM, running 14.04 installed from mini.iso,
because when I did the install was when there was some problem with Lu 14
installer . . . from Terminal I did a "dist-upgrade" for 122 MB of
downloading . . . rebooted . . . everything came up fine.  Launched FF to
check emails, saw a FB message reply, went to FB messaging, waiting for the
previous message to show up, waiting, waiting, waiting . . . then in a
flash/blink of an eye FF was "gone" from the screen . . . this was the
newly updated FF.

Dialogue window opens, "Sorry, something happened to FF, we dont know what
. . . not enough memory to report this problem . . . sorry again . . . ."

So, again, this **may** be exclusive to PPC, but, just shows that the older
hardware might not be matching the system requirements from 14.04 . . . in
this case perhaps not enough RAM in the iBook??  Over on the PM 3,1 in
12.04 that I've upgraded RAM to its max 2GB, FB will be painfully slow to
load stuff, but, so far, no crashes.
