This is an enormously elegant operating system that works beautifully on older computers. The only problem with the otherwise straightforward installation was that the included network management software would not connect to my wireless router, but upon download of the wicd application, all was immediately well with my old Asus EEE PC900. (In fact, better than ever!)

Loaded easily...did 2 upgrades to 18.04...performs well. Immediate recognition of my wireless printer that Windows has difficulty with.
Might want to start with the 18.04

Pretty easy to install and perfect to replace Windows XP. A lot cheaper than Windows 7.

1.0 out of 5 stars Wouldn't run.

Neither this, nor the Mint OS Disc I ordered would run on any of the three XP laptops I wanted to load them to. Just spin, spin, spin. So I ordered an external drive to try. Sorry, no, wouldn't run in a brand new external drive, either. Massive fail. Not happy.

I have an old Dell laptop that is still running XP. XP still works great, however a lot of other programs do not support or work with it anymore. I thought this disk would fix a lot of my concerns and extend the life of my old computer. It took a extended time to recieve the disk and it came with no instructions. When I have enough free time to mess with it I will try to replace my XP program with it and hopefully it will work well. If not then I will trash the disk and recycle the old laptop.

5.0 out of 5 stars For Old Operating System It is great

I have an old Toshiba Satellite and I mean OLD purchased it when XP first came out. Sounds like a table saw starting up. I removed the 8700mb HDD installed a rebuilt 60 GB HDD and then installed Lunbuntu 14.04. It just fine for what I will use it for, the graphics look a little old but the computer is 14 years old. No, I am not an expert but I do rebuild old computers and get them up and running. Since this is a lightweight operating system it uses very little space on the Hard Drive. I still have 55 GB out of 60 usable. I'll donate to someone who cannot afford a computer. It'll do anything a novice wants to do.

using this distro as a replacement for the old Windows XP PRO that I had in my machine, but to be quite honest about my review here, you should understand that I could NOT load this program into my then operating system. Microsoft's OS would not allow me to do it, so I changed the hard drive and then it went in fine on a clean disk.

This was my 1st attempt with loading a Linux distro and it came out FINE. For me, it's a little strange to use a Linux distro after 14 years with various versions of Microsoft's programs. There are A LOT of 'strange' words in this Linux program that I just don't understand yet after only had the 'load' for two weeks of actual useage, but I believe 'things' will be better once the copy of the book called " Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Desktop Apps & Administration" by Richard Leland Petersen arrives and I read it -- all should be much clearer and easier to understand.

However, as I had read before, while this distro IS Light at 3.2GB of initial uploaded space it DOES require A LOT of 'tweaking'' to get it the way you'd like to have it. This program has 'bloat' in that it has LOTS of games -- many that are incomplete and do NOT work I've found. There are other annoying problems too which is again the reason WHY I bought a thick book to learn from.

Eventually after I've learned as much as I can from this program on 'how to do things' I'm going to load another new larger hard disk and switch over to the newest Linux Mint Mate distro as I have read IS a much more stable program.

All in all, this particular program DOES WORK and IS BETTER than numerous continuing problems I had with XP PRO. I DO LIKE the excellent security I have with this 14.04 distro.

I still have windows 7 BUT I also was running XP Pro on 3 others, I did a reformat and when I tried to enter the number that came with the laptop it was refused by them now once but twice. I tried the automated and it would not do it saying it was not a genuine disk,excuse me but it was, I then tried to represntative who also told me the same thing. I tried Linux before and am going back on my laptop with it and if Microsoft continues to not honor legit numbers I will change all if necessary. Try this live and see what you think of it as you do not have to install it until you are ready just reboot and you will go back to your OS that is there.Good Luck!
