Interesting article on Ubuntu “Budgie”. I have a VIA Nehemiah M10000 PC with 512 MB Ram that I built some years ago – and ran earlier versions of Ubuntu ok. Does anyone know if Budgie will run on that kind of machine?
If Budgie doesn’t then I’d definitely recommend Puppy Linux. It can be minimalist, and has a version based on Ubuntu.
