Nicholas, nice find!! I am familiar with booting devices via U-Boot, but not with Grub. The tutorial is what I was hoping for, thank you! As an embedded-systems developer, I do most of my work on the command line. Canonical is moving to fully support ARM and embedded systems, I understand, bu

I tested nearly distribution you can imagine, and I found Vector Linux to be the best option for very old machines. Old computers go at the speed of light with it, and no other operating system with graphic interface had shown to be more speedy for me than it. Rega

You might be surprised how much you can do with the command line only. You can play music and browse the web even using cli programs :-) If I had a machine that resource constrained, I would probably install ubuntu server on it and potentially X and a basic window manager (fluxbox perhaps) if I

Hi Andrew, The iso is too big for a CD, so it need a DVD disk as well as drive to work. But standard Ubuntu 13.10 is too heavy anyway for old computers, and I recommend a flavour with a lighter desktop environment, Lubuntu or Xubuntu for such computers. I think the file system is ISO 9660, but th
