It was almost dead when it came to me.. but now - using Lubuntu - I
can even edit Audio & Video on it!!
The machine is Dell Latitude D600
RAM 512 mb (!!)
Hard Disk isn't working.. neither the battery!
I installed Lubuntu 10.04 on a 4GB USB stick and actually used it for a while.
Now it's working on 12.04 with 16GB usb flash stick constantly
attached to the machine.
The processor is Intel M 1.4
Wireless didn't work out of the box, but I got it fixed.
Kernel is 3.2.0.59
So you can see why I love an operating system that can breath life
into a machine like this!
I even was able to flash a BIOS upgrade using it.. which is a
dangerous process even on stable powerful machines.
Salama,
You're bringing back more than 2 years of memories that I'm trying to
avoid ...
You're not the only one ... I've been the most active contributor to
Lubuntu :)

You may need to follow the thread from the first post:

Skim, don't read everything and while you do, look at the date of the
thread ;)
Better go to sleep before you bring more memories :D
I don't want to remember that now :P

Thanks ALI & NIO..
Bodhi sounds great.
|| But Lubuntu will always be my favourite :) ||
You are welcome :-)
By the way, if you specify your computer, you can get more precise tips
about a suitable distro, version, flavour or re-spin to install.
Brand name and model
CPU
RAM (size)
graphics chip/card
wifi chip/card (if any)
Best regards
Nio
