Good evening

It is simply the naming of the most recent 32-bit processors, you also find x86.

I tried to install UBUNTU on my laptop "DELL INSPIRON 600m, 1.6 GHz, 32 bits" and it didn't work because my CPU is i686 while UBUNTU requires a x86-64 CPU.
I repeat my question, which LINUX will work on my laptop running Windows XP?
Have you experienced it yourself and does it work? Not maybe this, maybe that!.. A practical and precise answer, please. Thank you in advance.

Good evening,

If you want to install Ubuntu on a 32-bit computer, you'll need to download the 32-bit version of Ubuntu ;)

Please, does the download take a long time? How many hours? I've waited for 4 hours and it's not finished. I checked "open once the download is complete". In the bottom left corner, it keeps flashing "opening in 10h or 6h or 5h" and it changes all the time. I'm still trying for the 4th time right now, since 10am this morning and now it's almost 4pm. In an hour, the library will close and everyone has to leave.
Thank you in advance if you can tell me the length (hours) of the download.
Minounn.

Hi
Well, it depends. If it's the 100M fiber, it takes a few minutes. If not, a maximum of an hour I think. It's all a matter of the line's bandwidth.

Hello

Don't you have other ways to connect (family, friends...)? Generally, in these places (library, public wifi, McDonald's...) the speed is throttled.

Otherwise, on top of that, there are smaller ISO images (netinstall) which give you a minimal system and then you do the rest over the network, but given that the speed is really at rock bottom...

Moreover, your PC isn't recent enough to support Ubuntu... at least the latest LTS version with Unity. You should go for distributions like Lubuntu, Antix, etc. Even Xubuntu I wouldn't recommend with 512 MB of RAM :D

Really in the worst case, for the price of a pack of cigarettes, there are Linux magazines often accompanied by DVDs that you can find in tobacco shops or in shopping malls.

It may not necessarily be Ubuntu, but if you can get one, you’ll need to do an advanced installation, which means choosing the lightest desktop environment.

WarloG,
thank you for your idea. I went around two bookstores and they don't have it. I then visited the same library and found some books with a CD. When I install it in that same library, the installation gets stuck at the package search level (according to the book) on the internet.
It's a shame that the publishers do not provide the three CDs necessary for the installation. In the meantime, I'm not idling about looking for my solution for LINUX, because I want to dive into it. I think that the Linux installation does not automatically recognize the library's WIFI while the password is not required. Sweat is dripping down my forehead, but I won't give up that easily.
If you have any other tips, I'm all ears.
I read in one of the books that there are Linux clubs that might be able to help me on-site.
Thanks again.

Good evening

It's not at the bookstores you need to go, but to a "Tabac Presse."
But otherwise, I don't understand, normally the DVD contains everything you need, no need for 15 CDs.

By the way, what system is on this DVD?
Anyway, you should forget about public Wi-Fi, it's slow (especially in your case) and it can cut out at any moment... hello to updates with a lot of packages...

I advise you to install and do the updates with a real connection (cable) at someone you know's place.

See you later.

Hello,
"But otherwise I don't understand, normally the DVD contains everything you need, there's no need for 15 CDs. "

In a library, he probably found an old version that was often distributed on several CDs... It must date back quite a few years.
He won't be able to do anything with that.

Hi jns55

Exactly, it reminds me of Linux books with floppy disks in plastic cases glued to the back cover :D.

Otherwise, yes, our friend is really struggling; if I were him, I would do as I said earlier. At worst, I’d buy blank DVDs and burn them at friends’ or family’s places. Let’s not kid ourselves, we’re not in a remote Amazon rainforest either.

See you!

Warlog, Jns55 and everyone else,
In the end, I was able to find a Linux club near my home. There were about fifteen of us of all ages. In no time at all, my issue was resolved.
Thanks again, guys.
