<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
</div>
I have a Toshiba NB205 Netbook with an Intel Atom N280 CPU
and 2 GB RAM. Since the Windows XP that was pre-installed is
no longer supported I wanted to try an open source OS and
Lubuntu was recommended. <br>
<br>
I've looked at some of the forum posts and still can't
determine which version of Lubuntu is best suited for my
netbook. Can you please tell me which version I need?<br>
<br>
</div>
Thanks,<br>
</div>

I have an HP Netbook, with an Intel Atom (1.6 Ghz, 2-processor, 2Gb
RAM) machine, and Lubuntu 14.04 runs well on it. Given its speed
(and being a dual processor), I'm sure it would have no problem
running Xubuntu or UbuntuStudio, as well. <br>
<br>
I am uncertain that it would be enough speed for Kubuntu, or
(especially) Ubuntu/Unity. <br>
<br>
UbuntuGnome, or Linux Mint would probably work fine on it. I have
an earlier level of Linux Mint on it that works fine. <br>
<br>
The things that are more likely to give you problems with it, are
the limited screen dimensions. Many applications need (and possibly
assume) a larger screen is available. A handy trick with Linux, is
that you can hold-down the Alt-key, and click/drag anywhere in the
window (not just the title-bar) to re-position the window. <br>
<br>
I am assuming that the performance of your Toshiba Netbook are
similar to my HP Netbook (which may not be the case). <br>
