I haven't used Ubuntu Desktop since version 12. I am starting my C for System Programming class and it is recommended that we use VirtualBox 5.0.* and Ubuntu 14.0.* or newer. I am using a Surface Pro 3 with I-5/4GB/128GB model so I am an worried that I might not have enough resources to run Ubuntu 15.0.* in a VM. I am strictly using this for the programming projects. I basically need to be able to run one of the decent editors and compile what should be fairly simple C projects.
Will Ubuntu run fine with 1-2 GB of ram on my Surface Pro 3 for this purpose?
Should I go with a different flavor like Kubuntu or Xubuntu?
Again, this is primarily just for writing code in one of the editors like gedit and compiling fairly simple C programs.
Thanks.
