Experience welcome viability xubuntu on Dell Latituder CPi 128MB

[Log in to get rid of this advertisement]
Have been given an old Dell Laptop Latitude CPi D266xt with only 64MB memory resident but upgrading to 128MB. It has single 1.1 USB port, but have 4 point USB hub & I have 1GB USB Flash drives. I wish to enter Linux Scene with xubuntu installed. Is this a viable set up? any experience appreciated?

You might be able to run it, but I doubt you'd like it with that configuration. You need a decent hard drive, and 128MB is probably a bare minimum.

I think the best suggestion is to junk that machine, and get something new.
