[ubuntu-uk] Race Online 2012 PCs shocker!

I would rather they just stuck a respectable amount of ram in them and 
put Ubuntu on them, it works just fine on low spec machines. I don't 
really see the point in having an OS that "works" in low memory 
conditions when as soon as you open Firefox and LibreOffice it is going 
to be painful anyway.
