I have installed ubuntu 14.04 on my 8 pc's . Those running on pentium processors are fine but not as stable as they should . Windows 7 used to run extremely smooth on them . App executes slow , and sometime the system gets absolutely non responsive !

While I had two systems with 512 mb of ram and intel celeron processors , they used to run on windows 7 , and their performance was okey but as soon as i installed ubuntu 14.04 they are not responding . It takes 5 or more seconds to type a letter ,, a minute to open a app. They boot normally but as soon as i login , they respond like a hell !

Pls help me out for both errors . I have tried intel graphics driver installer and many tweaks but could not help ! Is there any issue with the ubuntu image selection or what ?? Its ubuntu 14.04.1 32 bit iso !

  • First stop much tweaking may be incorrectly! Check disk space for Ubuntu further swap partition may help you with only 512MB RAM.

You should try debian on your 512mb RAM machines, it does not use up that much RAM. Also using a lighter desktop environment like LXDE should also help. But seriously 512mb RAM is way too less for a current high end system and will never run "good" on this hardware (my personal opinion).
