Currently I have used Apple's Macbook for a while, but Linux distro's are something I would prefer in this case(I usually don't prefer Windows anyway).
Some of the newer Ubuntu's are just great, you only really need to go to the command line if you want to do so yourself.
Great post, I at least recommend to try Ubuntu.
It's easy, it's free and it's great.0 -
If this machine works the way it is, I wouldn't bother doing anything to it. It is worth about £30 at the most. Think of it like this -- if you had a ten year old Vauxhall Corsa, would you spend any money on it? No, you would look after it and drive it until it dropped.
The reason it won't play DVD's is that DVD wasn't common ten years ago.
There's nothing wrong with Ubuntu but it won't work well with an old machine. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements0
