RAM for Ubuntu

[Asaf Maruf]

Hi Chris

You will have to check your computer's motherboard to see how much
memory it supports. Secondly, i would recommend going with Xubuntu (a
flavour of Ubuntu) with the light weight Xfce window manager.
According to the website, (http://www.xubuntu.org/get) Xubuntu will
run with a minimum of 128MB RAM.

You can also have a look at edubuntu.org albeit it is targetted
towards the educational sector.
