Linux sucks balls, LONG LIVE TINY XP

[geo58impala]

Well Linux seems OK but it's not always the answer. My 700MHz Piii and 256MB ram can still use the internet pretty well with Windows XP, as long as its running SP3 and doing absolutely no gaming or youtube vids. Old computers are still very usable today if you use them in the right way.

Love your energy man and your no BS approach. I wanted to know if I should go with X or Lbuntu -- and you called it.

[SystemEquation]

For any computer less than 1 GHz processor I recommend using Puppy Linux.

For a PC above 1 GHz then use Lubuntu.

[blognewb]

I LIKE YOU. SUbscribed! :) Please keep them coming

[Turbolad995]

Good video.

I have Lubuntu on the netbook and it works brilliantly - so good I made a video about it! :D

[MegaOuster]

Some older Windows were not operating systems, they ran on top of DOS.

[girlstorm09]

i should use this for my 10 yr old Dell Latitude laptop....my mom hogs my new laptop to play her stupid FB games....if i was to put life back into my old lappy...maybe she can use that instead it can do FB games right? oh and how about skype?

1. It's Windows Vista, not Microsoft Vista.

2. Windows 7 used 1 gig of ram idling because idle ram is wasted. It smartly caches your most used programs into ram which is why it's so quick, fast, and responsive. If that ram is ever needed, then it frees it up immediately. I'm not against Linux, just against misinformation. Also, no one in their right mind should install Win7 on anything less than a dual core with 1 gig of ram.

[giced723]

Is Lubuntu just a fork of Damn Small Linux?

[robertocampayo]

Could i install this program in my old computer? It s a Celeron 400 mhz with 320mb.

I can t believe this OS use only 50 mb of Ram! Excellent video, congratulations

[TTT1776]

@robertocampayo You know I'm not really sure. I think you could. If your not using it for anything right now then it couldn't hurt to try.

[linktwo]

@robertocampayo It should work PERFECT!

If you have a Pentium II, you might need a older kernel to boot , but the forum should help you if you need a light kernel.

Have fun with Green Computing! and ask me if you need anyhelp ;)

(the kernel is the Core of the System)

[Gatewayuser200]

@robertocampayo Id reccomend Tiny XP for that old rig you can find it in the world of torrents

[themixturemedia]

I use Ubuntu 10.10 sorry not gona try another spin off off Ubuntu.

[TTT1776]

@themixturemedia Well if Ubuntu is running just fine for you then there's really no point of switching then. This is for PC that are so old that they have a very hard time running Ubuntu.

[IchigoRukia09]

I have a 5 yr old computer :) I Love LXDE :D

[SNAKE8029]

hey man great video thanks helped alot im jus curious when you said about hardcore stuff like photoshop is Lubuntu compatible with gimp?

[TTT1776]

@SNAKE8029 I have not installed Lubuntu on my old box just yet. I'm guessing that installing Gimp onto Lubuntu will be possible but how well it runs will depend on your hardware. Clearly The Gimp takes up way less system resources then photo shop but I don't know how well something like the The Gimp would run on say a 500mhz cpu.

My HDD crashed with my vista premium on it and when i got my new 500g HDD, it was blank. luckly, i had a Ubuntu 9.10 disk and saved my ass to get my poor HP Dv7 to work again. since then, i have been forced to become a full linux user and its been eye opening. I dual booted Ubuntu 9.04-9.10 with my vista, but never made the complete jump. HP wants to charge me 29.95+ shipping for a vista re-install cd, fuck'em, i got something better for FREE !!! i souldnt have to re-buy windows. its bullshit.

[chexmixxxs]

[TTT1776]

On the top left of your screen go to Applications, then Ubuntu Software Centre. Everything in there is free and open source. If you are feeling adventures go to the top left, system, admin, synaptic. This should get your started. Enjoy!

[curlyboy1986]

i got my laptop hardrive half windows xp pro and half ubuntu 10.04..... now can i tether with ubuntu and where do i get software and stuff... thanks

[spacepirate777]

The correct pronunciation is "oo-boon-too" (written for English speakers). There are videos of Mark Shuttleworth and Nelson Mandela pronouncing the word this way. It makes me cringe when I hear people saying "u-bun-too" or "oo-bun-too". With certain languages (i.e. German) people will automatically pronounce it correctly because "u" is pronounced "oo".

[schmidtbag]

lubuntu is still pretty heavy. if you want a true lightweight system, use arch or debian with lxde and try not using programs with gnome or kde dependencies

[madjunir]

fast computers can also benefit from lubuntu, is like an instant upgrade , fassssssssst

[cheater87]

Linux RULES

[linuxguy2009]

Am I the only one that pronounces Xubuntu like "Zooboontoo"?

[schlucknik]

@linuxguy2009

umm no..... that's how you say it!

[Exilesandninja]

@linuxguy2009 I call it the same thing :)

[schmidtbag]

@linuxguy2009

i say it like that too. i'm not really sure what the correct pronunciation of "ubuntu" is but seeing as how its an african word and since nearly all languages pronounce each letter exactly the same in every situation while english doesn't follow specific pronunciation rules, i'm guessing most people who say "oo-bun-too" are saying it wrong. until i hear the word pronounced by someone who speaks w/e language its natively from, i'm sticking with my idea of how its said

[jarblewarble]

@linuxguy2009 Would it be "Ksubuntu," then?

[Blastabola]

It's been a long time since I have waited so long and hard for a distro. 10.04 can't be released fast enough.

I feel like Eric Cartman waiting for the wii to come out.

[master0rivest]

I agree. I have an old computer running Xubuntu, and it isent ligntweignt enough! I cant wait for Lubuntu 10.04! ;D

[wallybescotty]

i like the green flavored linux lol

[ushabtay]

if there was a like button -- you'll get a press .. thanks

[TTT1776]

LOL , there's a 5 star ratting system, you could give it 5 stars. There's also a favorite button and a subscribe button. lol. Anyways. Thank you so very much for the kind words.

[tizmosis]
