You could try oneiric if you wanted to. I have it running on some Atom- class machines with 1 GB of RAM, and while it's not incredibly snappy it's not terrible either.
You could also try running Unity 2D (apt-get install unity-2d, then select it as your session when logging in). It uses 2D graphics instead of 3D, so it's generally less resource-intensive. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/818016 Title: PC has 1gb of Ram but Ubuntu 11.04 Full starts using 800mb = Slow computer To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/818016/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
