Ubuntu on an older PC

[Phillip Sc. Bøgh]

After a hell of hardware-work it seemed peace of cake to do the software
work - that is installing Breezy-Ubuntu on 25 PC's in the range 350-750
Mhz with 128-384 Mram. And they work in at least 12 different languages as
the harddisk is at least 6Mb.

Completely aggree - this is truely environment thinking.
But if you multitask do yourself the faivour to put in some extra Ram -
just 64 or another 128 Mb does a different. And as the fox with more
entrences -after the optimal setup- add Abiword and Xfce or another
lightweight desktop to do the dayly work
