Hi everyone
Im trying to use my old laptop, again, I tried a few years ago and installed Kubuntu 14.04.01 and it was problematic because pae was not supported. So I left it there. Now I'm having another go. Could you recommend which version to install please? Or perhaps another distro altogether might be better for my laptop which is a:
HP Compaq nc8000
Pentium m 1.6ghz (please don't laugh)
Ram, not sure but probably 64mb or so
It has Kubuntu 14.04.01 installed which started up ok yesterday. I left if for a while and when i came back it had switched off, now when I boot it flashes up an error for a split second about temperature critical levels and then shuts down again. Even when stone cold. I don't know the exact error as it flashes up too quickly ad the pause doesn't pause it.
Any suggestions gratefully received on how to get linux going on this old thing would be great. I want it for offline storage with disk encryption only so basic features would be fine
Thanks very much for any suggestions
