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?

Hi there. I’m currently running Lubuntu 12.04. I have recently bought a Logik keyboard from PC World that for some reason does not have a regular Left Alt key. Imagine my surprise when I discovered this. Why does a brand new keyboard not have an Alt key?
Basically, I’m looking for a quick fix to switch my Right Alt to function as Left. I do not need a third level modifier key as I only just about speak/type English as my one and only language so I can’t see me needing any ‘backwards R’s’ anytime soon.
Cheers in advance.

In gnumeric, you can use mround to round to the nearest multiple of a certain numbe where x is the number and m is the multiple: for instance, if x is .28 and m is .5, then it will round to .5. But if x is .23 it will round to 0. How do I get mround to round up?
