I seem to have found the best operation system for my computer. Needless to say, it's Lucid with a capital L. How come? There is such an operation system. It is the latest LTS (long-term-support) release of Ubuntu, an open source and free operation system. This linux distribution comes out with a new release every 6 months and they give strange animal names to the new baby. The latest one is called Lucid Lynx and earlier releases had fascinating names too: Feisty Fawn, Gutsy Gibbon, Jaunty Jackalope, Intrepid Ibex... just to mention a few. It took some time to install L.L. , but thanks to my linux expert friend, Tibi, now it seems to be working as a charm. It is much faster, more stable and easier to use than my old system (which was also Ubuntu, but an older release). If you like trying out new things and you are not afraid of technological adventures why not give this operation system a try? here is the link.
A word of caution though: no matter how cool and user friendly the system is, with older hardware you may have some problems. Before taking the plunge, I suggest that you select the 'Try Ubuntu without any change to your computer' menu point of the installation CD. This will give you a general idea what the whole thing looks like on your computer and reveals (hopefully:) whether your hardware is compatible with Lucid Lynx or not.
