Linux on old laptop - still trying...

[Peggy Harris]

The webe page http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/xubuntu/releases/dapper/release/ 
states that Xubuntu Desktop CD needs at least 128MB of RAM

The alternate install CD "installs on systems with less than about 128MB of 
RAM"

I've got 40MB, so I'm way below this requirement.
