Resurrect Your Very Old Computer w/ Lubuntu! Being released next to Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx

Do you have a VERY old computer in storage never being used? You can bring it back to life with Lubuntu. Lubuntu is a replacement for windows and is free of cost and was created from the ground up to make very old computers useful again. You will be able to surf the web, IM, view pictures, create / edit / view office files, music and video. You will basically be able to do anything but high end gaming and multimedia editing. Don't let your old computer go to waste.

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

@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.

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.

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.

Pretty good video. Nice job.

Linux sucks balls, LONG LIVE TINY XP

[Gatewayuser200]

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

[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.

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

[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)

Good video.

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

[jarblewarble]

@linuxguy2009 Would it be "Ksubuntu," then?

[appdood]

awesome video, keep it up
