old computer ? any distro should i use ?

[Mahmoud Fawzy]

Hey Anas,

I Think u r searching for "Lubuntu" http://lubuntu.net/ :D .... name doesn't
seem too attractive :D but it seems to be fitting ur needs, the minimal
requirment that can lead in a practical use case is a Pentium 2 with 128 Mib
of RAM :)... however u have stated that ur old machine exceeds this !
:) https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu#System
requirements see the link for detailed information and for an important note
about some processor models :)-- I didn't quite understand if it applies to
ur case :D .... the thing I may be missing here, is ... "what are the
minimal requirments [that-work] for Xubuntu ! :D

Yours,
Fawzy
