I'm very pleased with it, and it's running a trio of 'Puppies' with aplomb. I treated myself to a 2008 Dell Latitude last year - Core2Duo 2 GHz, 4 GB DDR2 RAM, and a 120 GB SSD - to replace an even older (and much slower) Pentium 4 powered 'brick' from 2001.which, to be fair, in its turn gave me nearly 20 years of largely trouble-free service. It was an exciting time for those of us that like the hardware side of things.Ĭertainly, these machines are still very popular with Linux geeks, and because there were so many produced, it's not yet hard to find well cared-for examples on many auction & refurb sites. It comes with updated software and brings refinements and many new features to make your desktop. At the same time, manufacturers were innovating with all sorts of new ideas seemingly, new concepts were being introduced every other week. What's New Linux Mint 21.1 is a long term support release which will be supported until 2027. This was probably the first generation of machines that really found favour across a broad swathe of industries.and were used with a vengeance by the modern breed of 'travelling salesmen'.

They were marginal for running Windows - a seemingly regular occurrence with manufacturers, I'm afraid - but for running Linux distros, these machines have always been ideal.Īs Brickwizard says, no.they weren't speed demons (but neither were they snails) they're middle-of-the-road, and thus perfectly usable on a daily basis, largely due to the introduction of SSSE3 instructions across the board, together with chipset improvements that just made everything work together that much better. Linux Mint system requirements: RAM, 2 GB, 4 GB Disk Space, 20 GB, 100 GB Resolution, on lower resolutions, press ALT to drag windows with the mouse if they. Community-driven, featuring Linux Mints Cinnamon Desktop with Ubuntu at the core, packed fast and full of features, here is the most traditionally modern. All had either Pentium dual-cores or Core2Duos, most came with or could go up to 4 GB.
The kind of machine you're using was produced by the million during the late 2000s/very early 2010s.
