<pre wrap="">Not too sure how keen you are on the Gnome based Ubuntu but if you're
keen on a lower resource demanding system while still getting the
benefits of the Ubuntu base, you might want to try Xubuntu which has the
Ubuntu base system but uses the much lower demand Xfce desktop . . .

I'm no linux wiz but that's about the sum and total of it. Xubuntu
team also try and make low resource hungry productivity applications
the defaults too, where practical. I once had Xubuntu Dapper Drake
running on a 15yr old laptop no problems. Remember though Xfce is not
to everybody's taste as it behaves in slightly different manner to
Gnome so might be good idea to try live before installing.<br>
