Hello. Being my school tecch dubbed my IBM Thinkpad 390e “too slow”,i have pulled my VAIO out of storage to run Linux(maybe she’ll appreciate the fact i have 2 old laptops and keep them) and i think it has at least a GB of memory and a 120GB HDD Also, it has a Intel Centrino Solo 1.6GHZ CPU Do i need to upgrade it or is it gonna be a high performer for Ubuntu Linux?
Requirements are >1 GHZ processor–512 GB memory and 5MB of drive space so that unit should function well. Run from the DVD first to make sure and complete the install when you like the results. I personally still recommend Mint Linux which is a form of Ubuntu. I have run both Ubuntu and Mint on my Thinkpad T-42 and both worked well. The Thinkpad has a 1.7 GHZ processor and 1 GB memory and a 30 MB hard drive. Good luck, Ralph
