Yea.  I like Ubuntu more, but my lady finds Kubuntu easier to use than Ubuntu because the layout appears familiar to her since it looks like Windows.

You could download and install some kind of 'virtual pc' software to run both at the same time.

This computer would probably die... It only has 512MB ram.

Of course, I don't live under a rock. Ubuntu is alright, but I think it's slightly overrated. Fedora is a lot better for one.

This, minus the ubuntu is alright. I can't stand ubuntu :/

This machine does also.  This one I'm on is the shittier of the two.  Where the other machine is about eight months old and in use, this VAIO I'm using has been around since 2002.  Is where I do my gaming except for some game that demand more power.

Considering the fact that I use it, yes.  Fedora is my favorite.
