My 1st install was on a Dell Dimension 4600i 386 2002 vintage machine. I tried Ubuntu 16.04 -desktop-i386, which was slow, especially from keyboard...like 1-2 characters/min. - I suspected the problem may have been keyboard entry related. I next tried Linix Lite-2.8-32 bit, which had hang ups with US english translation, google & google chrome issues. Eventually I got it to work well for a short time, but following an update, it ground to a halt. As a standard feature it would not display a sign-in screen at start-up for entry code, did display a p/w entry box though. Re-install did not help, it seemed as if original issues were re-introduced.... seems logical..

My questions are:

  1. I liked LL 2.8 when it worked, is it possible to alter its processes to run reliably?
  2. What other versions of linux systems will work better on my system?

  • Sorry, but you shouldn't ask two questions in 1 question. Ask them seperately. – Star OS Jun 11 '16 at 13:19

You should install Lubuntu 14.04.

Here's a direct link to the latest ISO image: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/14.04/release/lubuntu-14.04.4-desktop-i386.iso
