In "Open Source Alternatives For Windows XP" Robert Edwards and Eric C. McCreath from ANU make the case for Linux to replace XP on old low power PCs. Last year I was helping someone move house. Among the appliances to be
disposed of in the move were four desktop PCs, running various old
versions of Microsoft Windows (from 98 to XP). The
PCs were so old they were unlikely to be able to run newer version of
Microsoft Window, so installed Mint Linux (version 15) "Mate". The Mate version of Mint Linux
provides an interface not that different to an old version of Windows.
The installation came with the Libre Office suite and enough
applications programs to be usable.
