I am attempting to salvage a very old laptop computer for myriad tasks and internet browsing. My laptop is a COMPAQ Presario V2000. (Model V2570NR) I've maxed out the RAM, (2 GB). It was running windows 7 up until I loaded Linuxliteos 5.4. I've since upgraded to Linuxliteos 5.8. I am terribly new to Linux, and have spent a great deal of time searching on line for different things related to Linux and the problems I have faced. I've searched the linuxliteos.com/forums often failing miserably in finding solutions, so this should let you know that I'm fighting an uphill battle.
Considering that I cut my PC teeth using PCDos, you would think I could adjust, but I've evidently been in a Windows environment long enough that retaining terminal command is difficult. I'm in the process of finding and reading books about the Ubuntu kernal and its variations. I'm sure you'll all be shaking your heads at the questions I raise, but please bear with me as I learn to use this system. I've got a couple of other PCs, also old, that I think may be able to run this OS once I've learned it.
I hope we have a long and beneficial relationship.
