System Requirements

A Pentium II or Celeron system with 128 MB of RAM is probably a bottom-line configuration that may yield slow yet usable system with a standard Lubuntu desktop.

32-bit requires your CPU to have Physical Address Extensions, or PAE. PAE is provided by Intel Pentium Pro and above CPUs, including all later Pentium-series processors (except most 400 MHz-bus versions of the Pentium M). If you have an error with Celeron M reporting "NON-PAE CPU" and would like to install Lubuntu, please see this page.

Known Issues

Installation

• The i386 Desktop image is slightly oversized and will need to be burnt to a DVD or USB.

• Encrypted install fails, though there is a workaround (1205397).

Graphics and Display

• Pager preferences crashes, but a workaround exists (1272834).

• Power manager is hard to see (1334088).

PPC

• Due to several bugs, including a showstopper for those with Radeon graphics (1377878), there will be no ppc release for this version.

• We recommend using one of the LTS versions.
