What do you mainly use the notebook for ? If just for surfing the web, I suggest to install Ubuntu as the Operating System... Ubuntu works miracle in older notebooks... 5 years old pc, you are probably using pentium 4 / dual core 1.8 GHz... Still good for running and basic uses... Not good for games though... 5 years ago, pcs are usually shipped with 1Gb RAM... So it should be good enough... Consider getting an external HDD to store your files... Storage as they get bigger will slow down the pc... If you are interested in learning how to reduce boot up time, let me know... It is a little complicated process... |
Man, don't keep persuading people to jump ship to Linux.
Not everyone can adapt well in Linux. Things are totally different when it comes to users who jumped ship from a not-so-steady-but-super-easy Windows to super-steady-but-hard Linux. They've to start from ground up in order to get familiar.
I must say WINE is good, but not perfect yet.
For those who're looking for stability and security, go for Linux.
Those who want software compatibility and eye candiness, go for Windows.
