Description:
Give an old computer a new life, using Ubuntu. It’s simple if you follow the instructions in this new guide titled “Old Computer, New Life: Restoring Old Hardware With Ubuntu”. Outlining everything you need to know to get Ubuntu up and running on older computers, the latest free PDF manual from MakeUseOf isn’t one to be missed.
While striving to sell more and more products, marketing departments want us to believe that PCs, laptops and netbooks become obsolete after a couple of years, and not replacing them makes us luddites. It’s not true. Except for high-end gaming, a mid-level system bought in 2006 will provide enough functionality to get work done and have fun in 2011.
Word processing, Internet surfing, watching movies – either from DVDs or from your friends at the Pirate Bay – shouldn’t make your old system think twice, granted it is configured correctly, up-to-date and has a operating system that’s efficient, performance oriented, and free as in free beer and free speech.
This manual will show you how to:
- Prepare to install Ubuntu by backing up old data
- Installing Ubuntu on your old computer
- Configuring Ubuntu to work for your needs
- Using your old computer as a server
- Configuring Ubuntu to work the way you want
- Setting up educational software for kids
