What is Ubuntu?

Ubuntu (IPA: / ubuntu /) is a Linux distribution based on Debian GNU / Linux that provides an updated and stable operating system for the average user, with a strong focus on ease of use and installation of the system. Like other distributions are composed of multiple software packages typically distributed under a free license or open source. It is sponsored by Canonical Ltd., a British company owned by South African entrepreneur Mark Shuttleworth that instead of selling for profit distribution, is financed through operating system-related services and selling support. Furthermore, by keeping it free of charge, the company is able to leverage developers community in improving the components of your operating system. Canonical also supports and provides support for four derivatives of Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu and Xubuntu Ubuntu server-oriented ("Ubuntu Server Edition."

Also works with version 06/02/1932 Linux kernel and version 2.30 of the GNOME desktop.

Installation - Requirements

According to official documentation that the system would be working if you meet these minimum specifications:

* Processor: 300 MHz x86. * RAM: 64 MB. * Hard Drive: 4GB (for a complete installation including swap). * VGA graphics card. * CD-ROM or network card.

The previous team is already possible to install as a server, but is unlikely to do so fluently in a desktop computer so that the minimum recommended specifications are:

* Processor: 700 MHz x86 or x86-64. * RAM: 384 MB. * Hard Disk: 8GB. Graphics card capable of supporting a resolution of 1024x768. Sound card. * Internet connection.

And if you want to have desktop effects provided by Compiz, then the minimum processor power amounted to 1.2 GHz and must have a compatible graphics card.

My opinion: waiting to be downloaded and installed ...
