The base Dell laptop comes with 512 meg. of RAM, good to go for

I just loaded xubuntu on a Dell Inspiron 2600 for my father (it had
belonged to my step mother.) It has 256MB and a 1GHz p3. Neither
Ubuntu or kubuntu would successfully install on it.
Debian installs fine with 256 meg. KDE runs as well, once installed. Is
it the extra overhead of the live CD?
