Re: Linux@minimum requirement
older versions are not recommended and the versions of ubuntu or fedora which will run on 128mb ram are really really old. don't bother abt them!

Re: Linux@minimum requirement
xubuntu is better, imho. linux distros haf a desktop environment (for GUI), the 3 most popular are: kde, gnome, xfce (there are many more). out of these kde and gnome require substantial amount of ram. xfce is the lightest among them. ubuntu has gnome, kubuntu has kde while xubuntu has xfce. apart from these the underlying things are same for the 3 mentioned above. i suggested xubuntu wid the xfce desktop env. as it is the lightest amongst those 3.

Re: Linux@minimum requirement
Ubuntu 7.04 works perfectly on my PIII, home it is that it does not run on your P IV?
