What is the your favorite version of Linux or Ubuntu?

Playing around with Linux Ubuntu on an old laptop and trying to decide which one to use.

Linux is known to run great on older hardware.

There are tons of them. My biggest headache will be drivers for my wireless NIC and printer.

Fun .. fun .. fun ..

Thanks

For an old laptop Puppy linux would be good because it's fast on computers with low RAM, slow processor and it is very small so it wouldn't take up much room on a small hardrive.

Mac Puppy is nice looking and easy to use.

You can get a small version of ubuntu too.

Ubuntu's user friendly and no shortage of online help.

Linux mint is even more user friendly. It's based on ubuntu. Here's the lxde version for old pcs:

Linux mint is very nice.

Thanks. This Dell 1150 has 2GB and a P4 2.8ghz cpu. I have two laptops and three desktops up and running, and just wanted to see how far Linux had evolved since the last time I delved into it a few years ago. It's come a long way!

It runs Win7 "ok", but just wanted a bit more snappiness. Not running aero, since the embedded Intel GPU won't support it.

Installed latest Ubuntu, and all the hardware was fine except for the wireless devices. I have a USB wireless NIC and printer. Couldn't get the drivers to install for the USB NIC. Pretty common for Linux.

A great OS, especially for servers.

Win8 is rumored to be less hardware dependent thatn Win7 is.

Had fun with it .. uninstalling ...
