Ubuntu Version 14.04.5
grape vine


Minimum System Requirements for Ubuntu Version 14.04.5
32- and 64-bit machines
  1. 700 MHz processor (about Intel Celeron or better)
  2. 512 MiB RAM (system memory)
  3. 5 GB of hard-drive space (or USB stick, memory card or external drive)
  4. VGA capable of 1024x768 screen resolution
  5. A USB port for the installer media
  6. Internet access is helpful
Screen resolution will be set at the highest your graphics card can handle but when you boot-up you should be given a "Low graphics mode" option which allows you to set it to something better for your monitor.
All 64-bit (x86-64) CPUs should be fast enough to run Ubuntu and can run the 32-bit (x86) version as well. For an optimized installation (and especially for those wishing to run more than ~3 GiB of RAM). The 32-bit version tends to be easier to use and runs into less problems.
