I KNOW NOTHING AT ALL-Ubuntu 12.04

[cprofitt]

Nydia:

Congratulations on finding Ubuntu and putting some older computers to
use.

As Lyz suggested I would recommend trying to contact some of your LoCo
team members are they are going to be close to you and able to assist
in-person if needed.

It appears you had some questions about how much ram your computer had
and this should be easy to find. I have included to screen shots that
should help you.


In the upper right hand corner click the 'power' icon and select about
this computer


You should then see a dialog box like the one below. The yellow
hi-lighted area is your memory.
