Perhaps - just don't expect miracles, the current slick and easy-to-use distributions are heavier than the distributions 5 years ago... so if the hardware is really old, you'll probably still be limited to some of the "techier" and not-so-pretty but more lightweight distros.
5 years is a long long time in Linux land. Things really have improved.You mean I should try again ? I still have the old computer.
i think the general public's indifference about which os it's using combined with the inertia of sticking with what you already know best has more to do with it. otherwise there wouldn't be half so many win xp holdouts.
Over the past few years, modern Linux distributions such as Ubuntu have utterly transformed the open-source desktop user experience into something sleek and simple,I disagree. About 5 years a go I had an old desktop compute whose HD had died. I put a new HD in and installed Ubuntu because of the buzz for Linux. I wanted to learn and the best way was to install and play with it. I found it much more difficult than Windows. Installing programs was I found particularly difficult. I am fairly computer literate
