Xubuntu 12.04 or Xubuntu 12.04.2

Question

My computer, a HP d260 MT brand machine has the following specs:

Pentium 4 processor @3.0 Ghz
On-board Intel 82865G graphics controller
1 GB RAM It is bios supported Can anyone tell me should I choose Xubuntu 12.04 or Xubuntu 12.04.2 Thank you My computer has xp and ubuntu 10.04 installed.And hid the grub with windows as default and i am not able to access ubuntu.

why not 13.04, get all the bells and whistles :) take a look at http://askubuntu.com/questions/206407/how-do-i-find-out-which-version-and-derivative-of-ubuntu-is-right-for-my-hardwar — Simon, Jul 28 '13 at 16:46
i thought that xubuntu 12.04.2 is for uefi and xubuntu 12.04 is for bios — Sivakethan, Aug 01 '13 at 17:08
i am not able to boot into xubuntu 12.04.2 live cd which i burned myself. Is it because i have ubuntu 10.04 installed already.Burning cd was successful at that time. — Sivakethan, Aug 01 '13 at 17:13

Both are the same, just different point releases. The point releases and dates are: 12.04.1 (23 August 2012), 12.04.2 (14 February 2013), 12.04.3 (22 August 2013) and 12.04.4 (24 January 2014).

Now that being said, you can download and install Xubuntu. I just installed it on a Celeron with 1GB RAM, and I love it. Its quick, and snappy.

Hope that helps you.

Why did accept, and unaccept the answer? How did you burn the CD? What error message(s) are you getting? – Mitch Aug 01 '13 at 17:13
no error message i got at the time of burning the live cd – Sivakethan Aug 01 '13 at 17:15
sorry i unaccepted as i still did not get answer – Sivakethan Aug 01 '13 at 17:16
You said xubuntu 12.04.2 its not booting into installer. What is it doing? Plus your question was which one to choose, and not about the installation itself. – Mitch Aug 01 '13 at 17:17
its only showing 'boot from cd:' and not responding can you help me please. – Sivakethan Aug 01 '13 at 17:18
Try this: Do an MD5SUM on the ISO, and try creating a bootable USB using Unetbootin. – Mitch Aug 01 '13 at 17:20
my bios is not supported for usb boot – Sivakethan Aug 01 '13 at 17:21
Then do an MD5SUM, and try burning another CD at lower speed. Where did you download the file from? – Mitch Aug 01 '13 at 17:22

Try downloading it from Here, and burn another CD. – Mitch Aug 01 '13 at 17:30
