Give an old computer a new life, using Ubuntu. It’s simple if you  follow the instructions by author Stefan Neagu in this new guide.  Outlining everything you need to know to get Ubuntu up and running on  older computers, the latest free PDF manual from isn’t one to  be missed.
While striving to sell more and more products, marketing departments  want us to believe that PCs, laptops and netbooks become obsolete after a  couple of years, and not replacing them makes us luddites. It’s not  true. Except for high-end gaming, a mid-level system bought in 2006 will  provide enough functionality to get work done and have fun in 2012

Word processing, Internet surfing, watching movies – either from DVDs  or from your friends at the Pirate Bay – shouldn’t make your old system  think twice, granted it is configured correctly, up-to-date and has a  operating system that’s efficient, performance oriented, and free as in  free beer and free speech.
This manual will show you how to:
- Prepare to install Ubuntu by backing up old data
- Installing Ubuntu on your old computer
- Configuring Ubuntu to work for your needs
- Using your old computer as a server
- Configuring Ubuntu to work the way you want
- Setting up educational software for kids
Like all my manuals, this is completely free.
