Whew great thanks I needed this. There are still a lot of people using pentium 3 or less PCs – like me. I only have 256 RAM.

I have found Hardy to be relatively stable so far, and the hardware detection was a little improved on previous versions, it also did not hold a candle to other distros of similar nature such as PCLOS.

Hardy is actually more stable for me so far than Feisty – it automatically discovers the hardware a little better than Feisty, and Feisty has had one lockup (due to binary NVidia driver) that I’m hoping Hardy will avoid.

People with different hardware will have somewhat different experiences of Hardy. It’s certainly nothing like Vista – it detects both new and very old hardware quite successfully. The new means it worked without hassles with a brand new Gigabyte P35 motherboard and Core 2 E8200, with NVidia card, and the old means it also ran very nicely on my old 512MB Pentium III at 700 MHz – try doing that with Vista!

Hardy seems fast enough for me, just not stable–kind of like Ubuntu’s Vista, though that may be putting too sharp a point on it. The only fix seems to be a downgrade or some other distro.
