I bought a computer in 2007. It has 2 GB RAM. 2x1.46GHZ. But for some reason it is very laggy.
I want to install an operating system which will work as fast as possible.
What I want to do:
- JAVA (Eclipse, netbeans)
- OpenOffice, Libreoffice or similiar.
- PDF as well.
- Films, Music.
- NO GAMES, NO GAMES, NO GAMES.
- Internet(Firefox or chrome)
- Some way of using SSH, SFTP, FTP.
- Programs for DB management like SQliteman or MysqlWorkbench or PGAdmin.
Currently I have the latest version of Ubuntu with Unity installed, but sometimes it is so laggy.
What OS are you running now and what OSs are you familiar with ? – Shekhar – 2011-11-18T14:09:00.190
1Is anything seriously preventing you from using XP? I expect you could do what you want (although JAVA dev with 2GB of RAM is probably a bad idea). – tombull89 – 2011-11-18T14:33:26.327
Could also be a hardware issue. My SSD fried not long ago and I had to reinstall XP on a 5400RPM drive. You've never seen anything lag like my setup! Still, XP is rock solid -- and I've tried almost every desktop OS. Good luck! – Jeff – 2011-11-18T15:20:11.223
Um, you are aware that Ubuntu comes with a whole bundle of games in the official repos, right...? – a CVn – 2011-11-18T15:44:13.323
