ive heard that ME sucks, but what is exactly wrong with it?

Ubuntu 5.10. Linux is a great alternative to Windows XP, especially if you're too poor to afford the high price it costs. Both have great looking UI's, but Linux is FREE! Windows XP might run fine, but you should use the classic theme to be safe.

Not too mention alvino...you only tried Ubuntu which runs gnome, you can also run Kubuntu which is the same thing only with KDE which alot of people prefer.

True, I've only used Ubuntu, but I love it. It's easy to use and it's actually fun to play around with.

Yeah, synaptic makes it easy especially if you install Automatix.

Windows ME/2000 OS OR Suse 8.1

Or...Remember the Windows XP Lite? That'll do it!

You Should probally upgrade youre processor to at least a pentium 4, and you really should upgrade youre ram from kilobytes to megabytes or even gigabytes haha

 

[MooseMan1]

lol it isn't his computer were talking about, so he can't really upgrade it, plus that would mean a new motherboard as well

 

[joxley1990]

The computer doesnt have kilobytes RAM, its got 256MB. The processor is 600Mhz with speedstep, so about 700Mhz max, it could do with a RAM upgrade, but I think 256 is ok for now if hes having Windows Lite and 2000.
