Question #77445 on Ubuntu changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/77445
Tom proposed the following answer: Hmmm, something else worth noting is that "lower spec" does not mean "older". For example netbooks are lower spec. In many cases an ultra top-end machine of a few years ago will have a higher spec than a much newer machine. My own machine is a real mix of old and new, the cd- drive is possibly 'only' ten years old but is a real faithful work- horse. In the Windows world the only OS's they have that works on lower-spec machines are 'old' versions but in linux we have ultra new releases of all distros right across the range from top-end desktops, servers, netbooks, hand-helds, phones, dedicated routers and even some watches. Try getting Win98 using wiifi devices or wireless networks or bluetooth and it's going to be tough to find drivers and stuff yet many linux distros are much smaller, work on much lower spec machines and have ultra-new features built in. -- You received this question notification because you are a member of UF Unanswered Posts Team, which is an answer contact for Ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuforums-unanswered More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
