Karlheinz, I managed installing and running Xubuntu in an old Pentium MMX (233 Mhz!). Right, it was not that wow performance, but it ran at least... Now, for video and audio applications, I think it might de difficult to run, because those applications are just memory and resource eaters... :-) good luck, Zevang Karlheinz Noise <khzmusik@hotmail.com> escreveu:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> >Please, your processor is awfull - you never going to make it.

You're telling me I cant even install the OS on the machine? That seems hard to believe. My impression was that Linux was much more resource-friendly than Windows of any flavor. In any case, this isn't going to be my "work" machine. I'm buying a new computer to put in the studio, I just wanted to learn the software before I jumped in and made the switch. And since this computer is a hair's breath away from being a doorstop, I figured I'd use it for training wheels. On a different subject - does the Ubuntu Studio installation allow for a dual-boot? Or do you have to use a third-party OS loader and put Win/Linux on seperate partitions? Sorry for the newbie questions. -Karlheinz _______________________ http://www.khznoise.com _________________________________________________________________ Picture this – share your photos and you could win big! http://www.GETREALPhotoContest.com?ocid=TXT_TAGHM&loc=us -- Ubuntu-Studio-users mailing list Ubuntu-Studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users </blockquote> <hr size=1>Novo <a href="http://yahoo.com.br/oqueeuganhocomisso ">Yahoo!
