    Boot from live cd and check unity /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p http://askubuntu.com/questions/69466/how-to-check-requiriments-for-unity-3d – Qasim May 22 '13 at 03:28
  • Maybe you can use gnome-fallback inside of unity. Less requirements, but less cute things too. – ssoto May 22 '13 at 07:14
  • Currently installing Ubuntu 13.04 I'm in the process of Running post-istallation trigger update-notifier-common and its taking too much time.

    ubuntu CRON[30150]: (root) CMD (test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily ))

    ubuntu CRON[30199]: (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly)

    ubuntu CRON[30219]: (root) CMD (start -q anacron || :)

    ubuntu CRON[30299]: (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly)

    ubuntu CRON[30380]: (root) CMD ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly)

Yes, it should be usable on that system, depending on your graphics card. Personally I would use lubuntu or xubuntu because those run faster on older systems. Be very careful when partitioning. My advice would be to get a a second hard drive. It has saved my a lot of pain for the little that it cost me.

  • Or instead of lubuntu or xumbuntu install gnome-shell and use Gnome classic environment. I have done so on very similar pc and it works very well. – Misery May 22 '13 at 06:09
  • I'm already installing Ubuntu 13.04 and still its ongoin. I'm in the process of Running post-istallation trigger update-notifier-common and it has this kind of command running. – Alistaire May 22 '13 at 09:44
