Belatucadrus Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 I'm updating an HP netbook and testing out a few new distros on Live USB. Not sure about the new interface on Ubuntu 12 I prefer the old style menu approach so I'm going to try Lubuntu & Open Suse. Any other recomendations ?

Belatucadrus Posted June 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Looks good I'll add it to the list.I don't dislike Ubuntu netbook which I'm using at the moment, but it seems to have a bug/incompatability that makes navigating the user interface turgidly slow, later versions don't appear to have this problem.

Boris Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Zorin 6Should have added Lite :D - the version designed specifically for Windows users utilising old or low-powered hardware.It flies on my test box - Core 2 Duo E4500 + 1Gb PC5300 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
octal Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 You could try Lubuntu, that is really nice because it hasn't got the graphics heavy desktop that normal Ubuntu has, it is really fast on my old Toshiba NB-100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted July 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Tried Zorin light it's a bit bare bones for my taste so I'm downloading Zorin 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
