Dude, nice!

I like that. I have bookmarked that site for the next time I hand
someone a Lubuntu install.

Thanks!!

I've been doing that for years now. I use lubuntu because 1) it works well
on old computers and 2) it is easier for Windows XP users to use.

I have produced an illustrated brief guide to Lubuntu Linux that is handed
over to people when they are given a lubuntu PC. It can be downloaded from
the bottom of this page -
https://sites.google.com/site/ianbruntlett/home/free-software and you are
welcome to give it to your users.

HTH,


Ian

Hi Tux,

Old XP boxes with old hardware will often work best with the 
light-weight flavours of Ubuntu, while standard Ubuntu may need more 
modern hardware to work well.


- 3D graphics ability
- 3 GiB RAM

So I suggest that you try the different Ubuntu family flavours, and 
select a suitable flavour (either generally or individually for each of 
your old computer) to test alongside standard Ubuntu,


- Lubuntu with the ultra light weight desktop environment LXDE
- Ubuntu-MATE with the medium light weight desktop environment MATE
- Xubuntu with the medium light weight desktop environment XFCE.

You can test in a virtual machine, for example VirtualBox and tweak the 
settings (for example RAM size), but I think testing in real computers 
is better, if you can dedicate some old computers for that purpose.


-o-

Please test and report according to the testcases at the testing tracker

http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/

and report bugs at Launchpad

https://launchpad.net/

if possible from the computer that fails (otherwise from another 
computer) with the command line


apport-bug package-name

where package-name is the program package, which you suspect is buggy. 
If you don't know which package to blame, you can ask here or at some 
other mailing list or forum, for example the Ubuntu Forums.


Best regards
Nio
