Hi Folks
Obviously not too much interest in football at the moment so I thought I'd take
the opportunity to use your expertise.

Graham,
I am a committed linux user and I currently use Linux Mint XFCE on older
machines (mainly cos it's fast and light, not needing shed loads of
resources like RAM and Processor Power http://www.linuxmint.com/).
The other option I use is Linux Lite (https://www.linuxliteos.com/)
mainly because the support for new users, in the form of the on line
manual https://www.linuxliteos.com/manual/ is fab). I have used this on
some really old machines for interested friends, it would fly on your PC.
Because it's an older machine you can experiment with lots of other
things too: My old netbook is also used with a piece of software called
giplayer which allows me to download BBC TV and Radio Programmes without
any time limit on them :-)
Julia uses Mint on her netbook and found no difficulty in switching from
Microsoft 7/XP. One thing she really likes is not being constantly asked
about bloaty updates.
The beauty of linux for me has been the supportive community both online
and amongst other users I know. And best of all its free!
I'm in Banbury from next Tuesday for a week so we could always meet up
to set your Dell up if you are really confused!
Cheers,
John
