Update: This critical bug was fixed. (A while ago, actually. No version of Ubuntu after 11.04 was affected; the UEFIBooting page has been updated to reflect this.) Related: This question about whether or not this bug is still an issue. We probably should dupe one to the other. On the other hand, this question, and this answer, are a bit broader, pertaining to compatibility also
it's running currently on Mountain Lion 10.5.8 (i think, the information isn't on the install disks that I can read) - it has 2gb RAM and 100gb storage.
i would keep it no problem but i can't get version of programmes that will use this operating system; utorrent for example, or Traktor, and the browser doesn't even support my gmail.
