Я хочу знать, будет ли Ubuntu работать лучше, чем Windows XP, на моем Dell inspiron 1300 [дубликат]

Вашей конфигурации системы более чем достаточно для выполнения Ubuntu. Да это выполнит лучше тот Windows XP. Хотя я предлагаю, чтобы Вы использовали Ubuntu 12.04 LTS по последней версии Ubuntu как 12.10, 13.04 и 13.10 потому что:

• Это - долговременная поддержка и таким образом имеет поддержку до апреля 2017.
• Имеет функцию Unity 2D настольная среда, которая требует меньшего количества ресурсов и которая удалена после 12.10.
• Выполнения лучше, чем последняя версия Ubuntu в низкой системе конфигурации.

Я использую Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, и моя конфигурация системы:
