Kubuntu 10.4 for older system


I have Ubuntu 10.4 on one system and I like it very well for having it just a short time. I have installed Kubuntu 10.4 last night on a older system and so far I am having problems learning the OS. I think its just learning the KDE. Anyway my system has a 850 mhz processor, 765 ram and 128 mb GeForce 5200 graphics card. Just would like to confirm my system would run it suffecient or I should go with something lighter. So far I seem to like Ubuntus Gnome much better but am willing to give KDE some time. Thanks

You like UBUNTU than can use UBUNTU with a light weighted GUI like XFCE .
Speed is so relative , are you in a hurry ?
