I would consider Linux Mint if you haven't installed anything yet.
I am personally not a fan of Ubuntu One, and I feel that Ubuntu is slowly getting too bloated for my taste in a Linux distro. I've asked around on other forums, and this appears to be emerging as one of the most popular Linux distros, even replacing Ubuntu as the 'first-time-Linux-and-ease-of-use' distro.
So its not just me, i tried ubuntu on an old p3 lappy 900Mhz (yuck) 9.04 ran quite well and was quite responsive, i then tired 10.10 and it was reallly SLOW i know the computer used for testing was slow to start with but it clearly showed that the newer distro wanted alot more resourcesQuote:

Unfortunately that sometimes backfires on me when I am having a hard time deciding on which distro to just use.
Tomorrow is the release of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and I'm definitely looking forward to giving that a try. Linux Mint also has a new release just now and I'm checking up footage of it.
If it wasn't already apparent by the number of people mentioning it, I'd try Linux Mint. It' s actually a derivative of Ubuntu.
If that isn't light enough on the resources, you could even try it's derivative - Linux Peppermint.
BTW - The lightest, fastest, distro with the best power management plan for you would be one you tweaked from the ground up. Unfortunately, that'd be an adventure in itself.
indeed, I also suggest Linux Mint, has a whole lot more "flavor" than ubuntu :lol
I see it has been suggest quite a few times but I will also throw my hat in the Linux Mint camp, ever since the unity theme became default in Ubuntu I've found myself wanting a much 'fresher' flavour of linux.
Not trying to derail the thread but has anyone tried 'Commodore OS Vision' which has a similar source to Debain/Ubuntu/Mint distros but with a nice retro gaming feel which might be worth trying comes with some old Commodore emulators bundled in (fitting given the emulation nature of the forum).
Hey dude, I think its against the rules to gravedig. :\
If it isn't sorry but it not advisable this thread is from april xD
Can you just report posts with adverts in, rather than posting in the thread.Quote:
