Karmic Koala


I am currently using Kubuntu Hardy on a Dell Pentium 3 700mhz machine with 1gig of ram. Will Karmic Koala work just as well on this machine?

I am quite sure this kind of Ubuntu specific question will be better answered in an ubuntu specific forum.

However, changes are not so radical, it is mostly hype. KDE4 is not a good choice for such a machine if it doesn't have a well supported and decent (not necessarily recent) graphics accelerator card. You could try a light desktop or Window Manager (e.g., LXDE, XFCE, awesome?) to match your machine capabilities.

My short advice: Download a live CD and check out for yourself.

Best regards.
