Hi, I have 224MB (256-32mb(shared vid mem.)), even then feisty is slower. I use gnome and xfce also. Xfce runs smooth on my machine to some extent :) Xfce is indeed a good try for you, or you should consider fluxbox,icewm.. etc. -Omkar.

Hi, I have a system that has the following configuration, Intel P3 833 MHz processor, 192 MB RAM, 20 GB HDD, On board graphics chip + sound chip (Intel 810E chipset motherboard) (A 1997-98 model comp) I have installed Ubuntu Dapper (with KDE desktop :D ) on this PC, it seems to me that the applications running tax the system too much, the response to some of the events on desktop are really slow :( I use Firefox , Gaim , OpenOffice , Beep Media Player , MPlayer ,VLC , XCHM , XPDF, Gedit very frequently. I tried to install Feisty on this comp through the alternate CD , and as expected it was a disaster! i seemed to have murdered the System! :( Now my question is : is it feasible to install Xubuntu (7.04) on this PC? If so, can i Run all the apps mentioned above on Xubuntu? (mainly Open Office, Beep and Mplayer) ? I need to have AMP server running (my college needs) and Also Java 5 (Again college needs) apart from these, i want to have Python and Perl (My interests :) ) Please put in your valuable suggestions, Or should i stick to Dapper??
