I am using a Dell Latitude E6500 on Ubuntu 16.04 with 2GB RAM.

The computer freezes often when running firefox and even running python.

Should I use a lighter OS like Lubuntu or are there any changes like swap RAM or eliminating unneeded programs that can free up some RAM? When i first start the computer it runs at less that 1 GB RAM.

2G RAM might very well be your problem. How much swap do you have? Cheers, Al – heynnema Oct 14 '16 at 01:13

Swap is zero. Would that help? How do I turn it on? – adm Oct 14 '16 at 17:48
