It is quite a heavyweight though, by virtue of the heavy desktop environment and the a ton of daemons that is starts. On a 750 MHz PIII with 128 MB RAM and a trident 8900 video chip, a default ubuntu install was unusable IMHO. You'd probably need to slim it down quite a bit for older hardware. And that's no job for a newbie. I gave up and installed 6.2-RELEASE with fvwm2 instead, which runs a lot smoother.
