<div>I have the following hardware<br>Sony Picturebook PCG-C1XD<br>Pentium II 400 MHz<br>128 MB Ram<br>10Gb HDD<br>USB floppy<br>PCMCIA CD Drive<br>Display adapter Neomagic Magicmedia 256AV</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Due to the amount of available Ram I wonder whether or not I should go with release 8.1 given the recommended config below, or go for an earlier version.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I will be using the laptop to browse and possible use with skype.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I understand that installing should be done using the alternative installer given the limited amount of memory.</div>
