Hopefully this is an easy question for the collected knowledge here. I have an old Dell Inspiron mini 10 with a Atom Z530 CPU. I am interested in installing ubuntu on it to run Kodi.

Due to it being 6 years old, would it be able to run the current version of ubuntu? If it can, I'm looking at upping the RAM from 1Gb to 2Gb and installing a solid-state harddrive if it can handle that.

I've run it on worse. It should run the latest versions of Ubuntu fine, but it may be a little slow. I would go with Lubuntu, since it's lighter-weight.

In short, yes, but it will be a tad slow. Go with Lubuntu for better results.

  • Awesome, thanks for the post edit (muru) and the post reply (Daniel). I think I'll try Ubuntu 14.04 Server Installation Minimal and, if it's too slow, go with the Lubuntu per your suggestion, Daniel. – Will Eckrich Dec 16 '15 at 04:19
  • If this answer worked for you, you can mark it accepted (or perhaps not, now that it's a duplicate?). – Daniel Dec 16 '15 at 14:13
