[ltp] ThinkPad 600... Xubuntu... Maxxed Out Memory

[Simon Royal]

Hi
I have been running my ThinkPad 600 300Mhz P2 with 160MB of RAM with Xubunt=
u 9.10. =A0It has been an ok experience. Better than you think. Better than=
 Windows XP.
I ordered another 128MB RAM stick and it arrived today. So it is now maxxed=
 to 288MB and I must say it runs a lot better.
It boots a lot faster and web browsing it a lot better. It doesn't seem to =
be accessing the hard drive so much=2C which is a good thing.
On a whole Xubuntu at such a low spec runs very well=2C but I recommend usi=
ng the alternative CD which has a text based installer rather than the pret=
ty Ubiquity installer from the regular Ubuntu/Xubuntu CD. As it installs a =
lot faster.
I have gotten quite attached to this little beast and with the extra RAM it=
 makes it a lot nicer to use. I shall be keeping it a lot longer.
