In my opinion if you are encountering constrain performance due to
insufficient memory , then you might as well upgrade that specific memory to
4gb. Your trisquel will run more smoothly.
I did this with an old 2001 acer notebook that had less than 1gb, upgraded
the memory to a 4gb and all
You don't need any hardware upgrades whatsoever - though of course it'll be
far from being the last thing you do.
Here's a note about other distributions: Trisquel is committed to using only
Free Software: Free in that it respects what for us are the human rights
software users deserve.
My suggestions for nice (but by no means necessary) lighter software for older
systems are Sylpheed or Claws for email and for SOME (but not all) of your
browsing, you might not need all the features of Abrowser and prefer something
lighter. Midori is included on Trisquel-Mini, but Dillo is
Hey Techies,
Greetings to all! David here in NY. I'm so wanting to switch my OS from XP to
GNU/Linux. I have a somewhat ancient Gateway desktop PC I bought back in '04
which I mostly use to surf the web and to download things of interest. I'm
just not looking to spend on a new PC or laptop
Typo correction: I meant Trisquel. Couldn't find the 'edit' button.
Yea, twice the RAM would help a lot. The more the merrier. But keep in mind
that other things might malfunction.
That'll be enough RAM to run Trisquel Mini (LXDE), though it won't be
perfectly smooth necessarily (you should give yourself plenty of swap and use
lightweight applications, especially a lightweight web browser). I also know
from experience that the Pentium 4 is able to run LXDE just fine
Thanks, onpon4. I was considering downloading Trisquel Mini, but wasn't sure
if it would perform as well. I could certainly use whatever software Trisquel
includes, as I don't mind learning how to use something different or new. I'm
a pretty down to basics user and not into heavy gaming. I
One of my machines is a Dell Inspiron, with similar hardware resources to
yours, Dave In NY; it runs the full Trisquel 6.0.1 quite well, for tasks
other than audio editing, large source code builds and high-bandwidth video
watching/conferencing. I use the included apps, plus vlc for media
Well, you should be fine with more of the default software, then. :)
Actually, LibreOffice is a fork of OpenOffice that was made back when Oracle
controlled OpenOffice, so you'll find it familiar. Just a couple tips:
* Trisquel's version of Firefox is called Abrowser. It's called that
For Firefox, use Abrowser, as onpon4 said. The only differences are the
branding, an addons site that only lists free (as in freedom) addons, and
improved default settings (for privacy).
Trisquel includes LibreOffice, which was forked from OpenOffice.
For videos and audio, VLC is really

Correction: only for Windows viruses. I suppose it could detect GNU/Linux
viruses, but viruses not being a real threat for us, there's no point in
that. The main use of ClamAV is if you're worried about infecting a Windows
