Resurrect Your Very Old Computer w/ Lubuntu! Being released next to Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx
September 1st, 2010 | 
Author:
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.

@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 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.

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!

The correct …
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”.
lubuntu is still …
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

@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
