== System Requirements ==

('''TODO:confirm with foundations and server teams this is still accurate - email sent 2012/03/12''')

The minimum memory requirement for Ubuntu 12.04 is 384 MB of memory for Ubuntu Desktop. Note that some of your system's memory may be unavailable due to being used by the graphics card. If your computer has only the minimum amount of memory, the installation process will take longer than normal; however, it will complete successfully, and the system will perform adequately once installed.

The minimum memory requirement for Ubuntu Server 12.04 is 128 MB of memory.

The minimum memory requirement for Ubuntu Cloud 12.04 is .....??? '''TO DO'''

Systems with less memory may be able to select "Install Ubuntu" from the boot menu to run just the installer, rather than the whole desktop, or may be able to use the alternate install CD.
