A bit old fashioned but I want a Window Manager not a Desktop Environment Terminals work just fine. Mostly just a mucking around system (primary desktop FreeBSD 10-stable) the fact that it's lightweight is nice. Ok, Peppermint OS 6 32bit on an old Compaq Presario V6000 with a Centrino Duo, 2GB ram, on an 80GB SSD, replaced an Ubuntu 14.04. May even try it (again) on my aging IBM T42 notebook, if it works, it does, if not, no loss except 20-30 minutes, will image the drive before install.Įdited by cat1092, 09 March 2016 - 03:30 AM. Plus the distro has ties to the State in which I live, so am more than willing to assist Linux developers in my region, which also includes FatDog 64, developed at UNC, which I use to test 64 bit computers (the norm these days), also have a 32 bit build of Puppy for this, will likely change to 32 bit Peppermint for this purpose. ![]() In fact, the PC will be my default Linux one, because it's much more compatible with AMD GPU's over nVidia, am running it now to test an OC on the GPU installed.

Of course she had a much newer notebook in a Dell Inspirion (forget the model number), with a SSD installed, that I gave to her (was given to me for work performed for someone else). True, if an 11 year girl can run the distro, most anyone can. ![]()
