kubuntu should work with 128 mb ram , but to install with kubuntu live cd is
difficult because it will take forever to run , as live cd needs more ram

if you install it with the alternate install cd , then you should be able to use
kubuntu , it will be slow but should be usable , or you can try xubuntu with
will be faster than kubuntu
