Hi Barry, In our school board I have Dell Optiplex 260's and 270's running great with Lubuntu 14.4.1
We did however ensure that they had at least 1GB of ram. These machines are probably 10 years old. ________________________________________ From: [email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of Barry Titterton <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, December 4, 2014 10:26 AM To: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: How old is your computer? Hi All, How old is the oldest computer that you have in regular use? I was prompted to ask this question by a comment that I over heard while doing some Linux advocacy at my local community centre. They run beginners computer courses (Windows only) so I popped along to see if anyone would be interested in Linux and FOSS. There was a conversation which included the statement "If your machine is 3 to 4 years old it must be getting worn out, so you need to think about getting a new one". This got me thinking about my own machines and I realised that my main desktop PC (Pentium D 3.2GHz), that I use every day, will be 9 years old in February, and it is still capable of running Ubuntu 14.04 very well. So how old is your machine?.
