i wished that LO has one version for home users to not install engineering programs like math, draw, base. i only need writer and have to have one office suite which most features are for engineers, businesses, companies etc. since i am not programmer and cant use linux, i should use xp.

Hey Guys. I found two 512MB memory sticks. It now gives me about 800MB after the shared video memory. Did you know that the Ubuntu repositories do not install LO Math with LO? Found that out about an hour ago. On 02/23/2018 03:40 PM, Tom Davies wrote:Hi :) Yeh, the KDE people put a serious amount of work into it a lot lighter and faster. Initially i only tried it out for a laugh but i was quite flabergasted at how phenomenally slick it had become.

When I last tried using it a few years ago, Nepumuk and Aconadi bogged it down so much that it became unusable.

Also last time i tried distro-hopping on 'old' machines i found that Kubuntu was much faster and lighter-weight than even Lubuntu and Xubuntu. There was a ton of stuff to figure out and apps etc to add o really get the most out of it but the default set-up looks really swish and is very usable. Perhaps best to let the new owner enjoy their own voyage of discovery. Kubuntu uses a different office suite and i found that so light and fast that i didn't bother to try out LibreOffice on it. KOffice/Calligra uses the same file-formats as LibreOffice.

It was an original Windows XP 32-bit OS system on a 64-bit hardware. Since it needs ALL of the old user's info removed, and XP OS "damaged", It was better to just make it a Linux system - for security reasons. I just installed Ubuntu MATE 16.04 64-bit on it. Their specs stated 32-bit would be best but the system keeps failing due a SIS630 "module missing". So with these specs, what is the newest version of LO you would install? With this low RAM, it may not be able to handle the newest versions. As I type this, the old system is now in the "software updating" cycle. So,itis installing the newest LO that is in Ubuntu 16.04's repository. To be honest, this system is a little old for my needs, but for a free giveaway system [HP desktop, keyboard, mouse, and a HP "square" 15 inch monitor], I do not have any parts to upgrade it and do not want to buyanyhardware for it. So, what is the newest version I can install without and problems?.Tim, if you've managed to successfully install 64-bit Ubuntu MATE 16.04 on this system, you should be able to install and run any version of LO - why not take the latest, 6.0.1 (or 6.0.2 to which LO just updated itself via the PPA om my Linux box) ? The only thing I'd recommend beyond this would be installing a bit more RAM. Even if you've made clear that you don't wish to buy any hardware for it, you should be able to obtain some used DDR-2 sticks, which the motherboard is almost certain to support, for next to nothing, which would make a great deal of difference in how you experience the computer (the system requirements for 64-bit LO 6.0.1 are listed as 256 MB RAM, with 512 MB recommended)....
