Installing Ubuntu [on an Old Dell Inspiron]
,----[ Quote ]
| With wireless working the Inspiron is a useful kids' computer. I
| have installed a bunch of educational and games packages. The
| default Firefox browser is what the kids are used to and Adobe
| Flash is behaving itself sufficiently well to make Club Penguin
| and Lego sites as tolerable an experience as they ever are.

| Altogether it has been a very successful transition and an
| excellent use of an old clunker of a laptop. The new owners
| haven't complained.

UbuntuLite - for older computers and light use users
,----[ Quote of quote ]
| The idea of Ubuntu Lite is to bring the power of Ubuntu across to
| the users of Legacy systems. So not just to make a small linux as
| this has been done before (Puppy Linux, Damn Small linux, the Rule
| Project). Nor to make a useable linux based desktop Operating system
| (that has been done with Ubuntu Linux, Beatrix) The idea is to bring
| the power of Ubuntu to the typical users of Legacy hardware (ie the
| grandma who gets an old P2 set up for her but does not know how to
| use it).
