After using the release candidate for a while now, I’m here to say Ubuntu 13.10 enjoys more polish than any current Linux release. Outside of the many bug fixes and updates, I can give you ten reasons to like the latest version.
I have an old windows xp laptop that i want to try out Linux on – the laptops main roles will be watching mpeg vids, listening to mp3s and web surfing, with some occasional light office use – the machine itself is a dual core pentium Lenovo laptop, with one gig of RAM – I’ve tried a couple of live cds out on my Windows 7 laptop – Ubuntu 13.04 and Lubuntu 12.04.03 lxle – on the newer laptop they both work easily well – my question is……. are the specs of the older machine good enough to run Ubuntu?….. or, should I go for the Lubuntu lxle which advertises itself as suitable for older machines?…. or is there another variant of ubuntu which would fit the bill better?

I don’t usually review or write about computer hardware, but I recently purchased a new laptop from newegg.com that simply blows my mind when it comes to the ease of installing Ubuntu 10.10. Ubuntu, and Linux in general, is a great OS for web development in PHP/MySQL, so it’s definitely a good idea look into using it for serious PHP development. Oh yeah – and it’s completely free!
Now, here’s the thing… Usually when installing a Linux OS on a computer that was originally built or designed for a Windows system, there’s always something that doesn’t quite work the way it should. Most of these little quirks are simple, and can usually be fixed with a little searching of google. In most cases, a computer’s webcam, or wireless receiver might not be working as it should, or some kind of non-essential hardware device.
Knowing this little bit of information, I was expecting something to have to be researched and fixed when it came time to boot Ubuntu the first time. First, I checked the built in webcam – Good to go! Skype video chats work without a hitch. Next, I checked the wireless and ethernet connections – Both also good to go! Up and running on the internet in seconds.
After that, I checked the USB slots with flash drives, a camera, and USB keyboard. All worked perfectly. The multi-touch mouse pad with page scrolling works exactly is it should. Lastly, I checked out the built in SD card reader. I figured that out of any of the installed hardware, this might give me a problem, but again, no problems.
The Acer AS5552 is a dream of a computer and even more of a dream when running Linux. The specific model I picked up is the AS5552-5898 RT. It comes complete with Windows 7 Home Premium by default, a built in webcam, a multi-touch mouse pad, a SD card reader, WIFI, 4gb memory, 500gb hd and a 15.6″ widescreen. I definitely recommend for the Linux user looking for a new laptop for on-the-go development.
[UPDATE]
P.S. I’ve noticed that the default Ubuntu movie player has trouble playing DVDs, and even after the appropriate measures are taken to get DVDs to play in Movie Player, it does not play back the movie very well. The best idea, and I think most Ubuntu/Linux users would probably agree whether Movie Player is having trouble playing a DVD or not, is to use VLC media player for video playback. VLC is available for free from the Ubuntu Software Center.
