700Mhz, 500Mhz? OK, I cede! Apparently my 10-year old desktop is one of the faster computers around :P It does look like 256MB ram is the lowest you'll see running vanilla Ubuntu though. My setup only takes 50MB on a fresh boot, but I know that vanilla Ubuntu takes around 150MB, so including Miro would significantly boost the system requirements. Just for kicks, I downloaded and installed the latest version from the miro repos (1.1.2). Upon running, it crashed because I don't have firefox installed (opera is faster). I'll install firefox and get back on how well it works, but this is something that should be fixed in the packaging: miro depends on firefox. <div>On 2/9/08, Greg K Nicholson <<a href="mailto:greg@gkn.me.uk">greg@gkn.me.uk</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0;margin-left:0.8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> On Sat, 2008-02-09 at 13:09 -0500, Evan wrote: > I'm typing this on a P3 1Ghz with 256MB of ram.

I run Ubuntu on a ~700-MHz Athlon, albeit with 376.5 MB of memory. Miro doesn't work, but I think that's the dodgy Nvidia driver (the open-source one) rather than the slow processor. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list <a href="mailto:Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com">Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss</a> </blockquote></div>
