running kubuntu 8.04 with 128mb ram

[kevinstrudwick]

for web browsing using Firefox, there is an improvement over 7.10 with regard to speed. hardware upgrade needed, but in the meantime i am browsing, banking, emailing and enjoying 8.04 with my 128mb ram.

With that little RAM, may I suggest you try an alternative window manager? I like IceWM, but fluxbox is quite good too. If you run KDE apps that can negate some of the memory savings, but there's still an advantage.

Xubuntu runs well on slower systems. Use it on a Celeron 600MHz with 256MB RAM. Runs great.
