I have an older Toshiba Satellite A205 S5812 laptop. What version of Ubuntu should I install. It currently has Vista 32 Home premium. It has a Pentium Dual-Core 1.6 Ghz with 2 GB of Ram and a 160 GB Hard Drive. I am looking to install over the current OS. Thanks,

1Although the duplicate link gives good advice about useful OS for older systems, it doesn't mention Ubuntu-mate, which has only just been adopted as an official Ubuntu release, your system stats fit the recommended hardware requirements here https://ubuntu-mate.org/about/ – Arronical Aug 26 '15 at 15:18

1@Arronical Are you sure you looked at all the answers? If you are unhappy about the existing answer that mentions Ubuntu-Mate, feel free to add your own. – user68186 Aug 27 '15 at 16:16

Since you only have 2gb RAM, I would suggest xubuntu (XFCE). If you want it more lightweight, you could try lubuntu with LXDE.
