[ubuntu-in] Suggestions needed please

[Akshay Rao]

Hi, 

I have a system that has the following configuration,
Intel P3 833 MHz processor,
192 MB RAM,
20 GB HDD,
On board graphics chip + sound chip (Intel 810E chipset motherboard)
(A 1997-98 model comp)

I have installed Ubuntu Dapper (with KDE desktop :D ) on this PC, it seems to me that the applications running tax the system too much, the response to some of the events on desktop are really slow :(

I use Firefox , Gaim , OpenOffice , Beep Media Player , MPlayer ,VLC , XCHM , XPDF, Gedit very frequently.

I tried to install Feisty on this comp through the alternate CD , and as expected it was a disaster! i seemed to have murdered the System! :(

Now my question is : is it feasible to install Xubuntu (7.04) on this PC?
If so, can i Run all the apps mentioned above on Xubuntu? (mainly Open Office, Beep and Mplayer) ?

I need to have AMP server running (my college needs) and Also Java 5 (Again college needs)

apart from these, i want to have Python and Perl (My interests :) )

Please put in your valuable suggestions, 
Or should i stick to Dapper??
