Anteus Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 If you just use your computer to chatt, surf and so on, maybe play some game. Then you should seriously try Linux! I can promise faster computer and sometime faster internet (windows reserves bandwith, prolly to make thoose backdoor updates). So all of you, atleast try a live dvd/cd Linux and if your thinking of installing you should begin with Ubuntu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linux is quickly becomeing a great alternitive to Windows for the NON-techies. I just finnished reading PC Mag's 18 SEPT article on Linux... If you get a chance, its a really good read.

Zeus_Hunt Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I thinking of installing my old com with linux . But i not sure about the system compatibility.My old com is pentium 3..The system requirements for Ubuntu are as follows: 700 MHz or better processor 3GB of available disk space 256MB of memory (RAM) CD-ROM drive Ethernet interface VGA graphics interfaceIf all of this sounds a tad high of spec, you may want to try Xubuntu. The system requirements for Xubuntu are as follows: 500 MHz or better processor 1.5GB of available disk space 192MB of memory (RAM) for installation but only 128 MB of RAM to run from the installation CD CD-ROM drive Ethernet interface VGA graphics interface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
