I've done it on 192MB. It wasn't pretty (mostly because the open source ATI drivers are the only thing that supports the Rage II, and only at 800x600 when the card can do up to 102x768....seriously, Ubuntu was *not* meant for 800x600 systems), but it was functional. That one's around 300MHz, I think. It's a Pentium 2. <div class="gmail_quote">On Feb 9, 2008 3:31 PM, Evan <<a href="mailto:eapache@gmail.com">eapache@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> 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> <div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"> <div>On 2/9/08, Greg K Nicholson <<a href="mailto:greg@gkn.me.uk" target="_blank">greg@gkn.me.uk</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; 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" target="_blank">Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com</a> Modify settings or unsubscribe at: <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss</a> </blockquote></div> </div></div> -- 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" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss</a> </blockquote></div> -- Mackenzie Morgan Linux User #432169 ACM Member #3445683 <a href="http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com">http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com</a> <-my blog of Ubuntu stuff apt-get moo
