I agree, I think people expect a fair assessment of what is required to run the software, not just 'what you could get away with if your in a tight spot' I will increase the specs a little.

To be honest I think I got them from the 5.04 release or the wiki can't quite remember.

I'm glad you like them, and I'm glad you peer reviewed them, I can fix anything like the specs bug.

Aside: My sister has Kubuntu on a PII 333 with only 64MB RAM and it's a snail. it runs but only _just_. that's why I ordered her new pc in parts this weekend (being a good brother).

Cool, I don't think there are official minimum specifications for Ubuntu, well not that I have found anyway. However I am writing a sort of training manual to use to run some free computer training courses in my local community and one of the things I was trying to work out was minimum respectable specs for a suitable computer should people short on cash just want to buy a cheap second hand pc.

Most references just generalise this and say it will run on most hardware, if it is slow then try Xubuntu etc etc. However I do not think this is appropriate advice for anyone that is a novice and or new to computers in general.

Cheers,

Andy
