Which version should I choose for a non windows PC
Asked by
Phil Romford
I am trying to install Ubuntu on a Dell Inspiron 2650 laptop with 256MB system RAM ( am upgrading to 512MB). The PC has no operating system installed. The HD is re-partitioned and ready for Linux.
I have tried to install from old CD versions, 8.04 and 9.1 but they are now corrupt. It is impossible to load 12.04. I have also tried 10.10 alternate, but no luck.
Can anyone suggest what version I should try?
I did have Ubuntu on this laptop alongside Windows XP at one time, so the machine will cope with Ubuntu in some form. Its frustrating having spent fruitless hours on this!
Thanks in advance.
