Linux for old IBM notebook

豬頭宅男

最近要幫教會朋友   set 部陳年 Notebook (A20 定 A21) 俾有需要人仕
部機本身有老番 XP (當然 5 可以咁俾人)
諗住剷左裝 free linux ubuntu (都係上下網咁用姐)

裝 8.10 唔得 (check 過隻碟 d files 無事)
Install 時首先話 ACPI fail
跟住讀左好耐然後出棕色畫面話 5G 有乜 driver 問題

down 落去 7.04....都係咁

想問 ubuntu 有無 min hardware requirement, e.g., CPU, RAM 等等 ?

改用 Fedora 會 5 會易 d ?

I think it is related to memory
Ubuntu needs at least 256M, recommended 384M or more....

Hardware config?
Ubuntu 7.04 requires at least Pentium 3 if I remember correctly.
Get an even older Ubuntu (6.04?)!

He is using Windows XP on that notebook. I think Ubuntu can be installed on such a machine.

Would it be the display chipset not being support because Ubuntu 8.10 got Visual Effects(Is that Compiz? I don't know) which requires new display chipset power?

豬頭宅男 brother, please post your machine's specification.


***********************************
Sorry, I omitted your ACPI failure. I think you would better go to hardware support page of Ubuntu 8.10.
