This page details the hardware required to run Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn).

Some of the hardware specifications quoted on this page are estimates. You may be able to run Ubuntu successfully on hardware of a lower specification than that specified, although performance is likely to be very poor.

The minimum requirements are only likely to allow a server (non-graphical) installation to run well. The recommended minimum requirements should allow you to run a graphical installation of Ubuntu well.

Desktop installation

Most people will want to install a desktop system such as Ubuntu or Kubuntu. A desktop system is typically used for personal computing tasks and has a graphical user interface.

Minimum requirements

• 300 MHz x86 processor
• 64 MB of system memory (RAM)
• At least 2 GB of disk space (for full installation and swap space)
• VGA graphics card capable of 640x480 resolution
• CD-ROM drive

If your system has less than 192 MB of system memory, use the Alternate Installation CD.

Recommended minimum requirements

• 500 MHz x86 processor
• 192 MB of system memory (RAM)
• 8 GB of disk space
• Graphics card capable of 1024x768 resolution

• Sound card

• A network or Internet connection

Note: All 64-bit (x86-64) PCs should be able to run Ubuntu. Use the 64-bit installation CD for a 64-bit-optimised installation.

Recommended for Desktop Effects

Desktop Effects are an experimental feature which has been introduced with the release of Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn). Desktop Effects provide various special graphical effects for your desktop to make it look and feel more fun and easier to use. However, they require more resources than a standard Ubuntu desktop, and so you will need a more powerful computer in order to use them.

Desktop Effects can only be turned on if you have a graphics card which is supported. For a list of supported graphics cards, see DesktopEffects for more information.

• 1.2 GHz x86 processor
• 256 MB of system memory (RAM)
• 8 GB of disk space

• Supported graphics card (see DesktopEffects)

Low-spec computers

If you have an old or low-spec computer, using a lightweight desktop system such as Xubuntu is recommended, as it should make more efficient use of your system's resources.

If your system has less than 192 MB of system memory, use the Alternate Installation CD.

Note: If you have a low-specification computer, certain features may be automatically turned off to conserve system resources. For example, if you have a graphics card with only a small amount of video memory (VRAM), the boot-up screen may not be shown.

Minimum requirements

• 166 MHz processor
• 48 MB of system memory (RAM)
• At least 1.4 GB of disk space
• VGA graphics card

Recommended minimum requirements

• 300 MHz processor
• 192 MB of system memory (RAM)
• 8 GB of disk space
• Graphics card capable of 800x600 resolution

Apple Mac computers

• If you have a PowerPC Apple Mac, use the Ubuntu PowerPC installation CD.

• All current Intel-based Macs should be able to run Ubuntu.

• If you have a Mac with less than 128 MB of system memory, it is recommended that you install Xubuntu instead of Ubuntu or Kubuntu.

• If your system has less than 256 MB of system memory, use the Alternate Installation CD.

Minimum requirements

• iMac G3 with 233 MHz processor
• 64 MB of system memory (RAM)
• 2 GB of disk space
• Graphics card (as supplied with computer)

Recommended minimum requirements

• iMac G3 with 450 MHz processor, or iMac/eMac G4
• 192 MB of system memory (RAM)
• 8 GB of disk space
• Graphics card capable of 1024x768 resolution

LTSP thin-client computers

If you are intending to use a computer as a thin client (such as a client for an Edubuntu LTSP Terminal Server), only a low-specification computer capable of displaying graphics and connecting to a network is required.

Absolute minimum installation

The absolute minimum Ubuntu installation provides only a command-line interface and installs very few packages. You can add additional packages and a graphical interface manually.

In order to install the absolute minimum installation, use the Alternate Installation CD.

It is possible that you will be able to install Ubuntu on computers with lower specifications than those given below. However, installation may be extremely difficult and Ubuntu is likely to run very slowly on such a system.

Absolute minimum requirements

• Intel 486 processor
• 32 MB of system memory (RAM)
• 300 MB of disk space

Absolute minimum graphical installation

• Intel Pentium 66 MHz processor
• 48 MB of system memory (RAM)
• 468 MB of disk space
• VGA graphics card
