I need some help if anyone can give it on Installing Ubonto??

My Aunt has a computer from a fue Years ago and it is an E Machine and it had Windows ME Installed on it.

Now she has a new computer and I was going to TAKE her E Machine and Install Ubonto on it.

Then give it to my sister.

Now I know the E Machine COMPUTERS are not good computers at all and they don't make them anymore.

But if I just Install Ubonto on it and she just uses it to go Online I thought it would be ok.

What is yourr thoughts on this can it work or what???My thoughts are that if you can't EVEN spell UBUNTU you're never ever gonna be able to install it and connect to the internet!!!

After all, he's just a young insect nymph. so can't expect to much from it or him or whatever it is.


@nymph4, what is your e-machine's specs? (amount of ram, graphics card type ... those things). I'm just curious. I expect that Ubuntu should be able to run on it anyhow. Just download, burn to cd and get it running unless you want to wait the long wait for them to send you a cd. Shure go ahead and install it. It should work fineAh, how I love constructive criticism that only serves to demonstrate the poster's linguisitic superiority.



Ubuntu would be fine, but I WONDER if a more newbie-friendly distro might be a better choice? I've not tried it, but I seem to recall that GOS was touted as a good web-enabled distro for the less technically-minded.My suggestion would be to DLoad and run the Live Distro first...it runs off the CDROM and does not install anything...
If that goes well then install it.Quote from: nymph4 on May 30, 2009, 08:41:09 PM

They are probably as good as other brands at a given price level, and they are still made.
