I have installed xubuntu on a 128MB RAM machine. Unfortunately, it is

So even though they state that the system requirements is 128MB RAM,
that does not work very well.

Hence, I guess there is not much hope for running a plain vanilla
Ubuntu of any kind with that little RAM. One could probably tweak
things though..?

There is the Ubuntu Lite variant of the distro, which should run well
on such a machine.
