Irrespective of the fact that the support of the "old" XP is still attached to the year of 2014, the system can be installed on thousands of computers in the whole world. As a rule, only old and weak machines, on some "Windows" 7/8/10 are strongly "galmu". Ale does not mean that such a situation should be allowed to self-fuel!
Why change the varto system?
Вік ХР - already over 14 years. Security systems, which are not regularly “refreshed” with patches from the Center for Updates, are no longer dead. If your computer is set to XP, you will be attacked by the risk of wasting all your files as a result of some bad programs (and the antivirus in this case is unlikely to help you). And to blame you is one of the Linux systems for weak computers.
Which one to choose?
So, as a "free" of old computers, you can shake the hell out of your archaism, to choose as easy as possible, but at the same time, "friendly" versions. It is taken into account that Linux starts to look like modest system drivers, but in the rest of the world we don’t see it that way. First, vіdmіnnostі mіzh versions of greatness. In another way, these are different systems, which can be practiced not on calculators.
You can't install the same Gentoo axis for beginners, but it's easier to search for it. What kind of Linux for weak computers should you choose? On the right, it’s not the easiest, so it’s up to you to report on the next choice.
Choose more
Fahіvtsі recommend zupinity your look at Linux Mint. This system is delivered in bulk with different graphic casings. All stinks are similar to the old Windows XP. Navіt Cinnamon (one of them) works badly on the old "salіzі", and even Mate or XFCE (or LDXE) for "old" computers fit and zovsіm ideally.
Until recently, for installation on old desktops, that laptops could be recommended by Ubuntu ... And after that, as її retailers switched to Unity, the koristuvachiv-pochatkivtsiv began to have massive problems with mastering the system. In addition, the new graphical shell is strongly "embossed" on the new "zalizo", despite a good video card and a hard processor. In a word, the version of Linux is contraindicated for vlasniks of antiques.
If you want to have a gigabyte of RAM on your "dinosaur", you, sing-songly, are supposed to have "top-end" Cinnamon. For other experiences, we would have liked Xfce. The very same shell is discussed within the framework of our article. Navite you choose another Linux for weak computers, but on the same GUI (as the graphic is called sharpened), ours will all be the same color for you. Accept you know about the most basic information, so that all one can become a good luck.
How to prepare before the transition?
To start, you need to grab an ISO, a Linux Mint image. For the help of the UltraISO program, or write yoga on a USB flash drive. It is necessary to say that you can use at least 2 GB. Respect! When recording the system, all data will be automatically deleted, as it was on the disk storage device. Also, podbayte, so that no important documents were shown on the flash drive!
Nareshti, even on disks from the Windows system, it is also important for you, do not forget to save money on your data. Please do not copy information to disk "D" or another logical distribution! On the right, in the fact that the failures of newbies during the installation of Linux often “drive in” the entire Windows markup, through which data on all hard disks appear low!
We are starting the installation
We insert a USB flash drive from any kind of USB rosette (albeit more beautifully tilovim) and restart the computer. Call it necessary to change the sequence of advancement in the BIOS. On rich computers for quick access to the exciting menu, the F11 and F12 keys are used. Alece is fairer for a couple of new computers and laptops.
As if you yourself have stumbled in such a situation, you have had a chance to use the BIOS. It is necessary for this button to show up on the cob captivating screen. The most common keys are Del and F2. Also, you should know the Boot Priority item and install the start from the flash drive as the first item. If so, it is necessary to restart the computer. To save money, the larger BIOS is set to F10.
And why should the computer not run a USB port?
As the computer is quite old, flash drives can be used as a flash drive, the chips of “zalizo” of which are not recognized in principle. Well, there's nothing wrong with that: hurry up with the DVD. Already privid for the old computer znaydetsya obov'yazkovo! Burn the image to a disc for you with the help of the cost-free program CDBurnerXP and Nero. The rest is not without cost, but more functional. If you have access to a computer with Windows 7/8, then you don’t need additional utilities, the shards of the system support recording discs from the start.
After everything is finished, you can install Linux for weak computers. Better for everything, you still have to go into BIOS in the same ways as we have described above. Once you have installed everything correctly, you will see the installer screen.
Testing and installation
Important! it’s only your fault if you switch to a normal robotic OS on your computer. Do not worry: on an exciting nose you will know the Live version of the system. Z її with the help of you, you can find out whether there is enough left to switch to a new OS. So, you can check the correctness of the robotic modules of the wireless connection and understand what your video card is suitable for the version of Linux.
After that, like Linux Live, click on the icon with the gears in the lower left corner, calling the mouse equivalent of the Start menu. Find out the items "System" and "Nalashtuvannya": they have selected the main reports about the "freeze" of the computer. If everything is known, then everything is harazd. In other points you can find out about these programs, how to go with the kit from this system.
We return your respect to those who have the entire English interface in the "live" system. It's not your fault If Linux is installed, you can choose the Russian language on the first future day. After the completion of the process, your order will show up again localized, the system is ready to work.
Cob vstanovlennya
All the same, and your feelings seem to be positive, just click on the “Install Linux Mint” shortcut, which is a pop-up on your desktop. As soon as you install the Windows program, you will need to set the main parameters.
The program is able to independently revise the available disk space and the presence of the connection with the Internet. It is significant that the sooner the connection to Merezha was, it would speed up a number of distant "ruins": all the necessary updates and localization packages will be taken into account already at the installation stage, so you will not have to deal with them. You only need to choose your time zone, recognize your password, your account name, and also your keyboard layout. You can't see the password on the Windows screen, so it's easier to write it down, so don't forget it.
Only then does the Linux system start copying files to the hard drive. The next step is to indicate that this process takes about 30-45 strands. As soon as everything is ready, the system will prompt you to re-advantage: respectfully look at the display, what will be said there, if it is necessary to clean up the installation nose at the very moment.
What work after installation?
As we have said, be it a version of Linux, like a victorious Xfce, for its own nature, it is guilty of good old mastery. As soon as you log in to the system, you will see a simple and functional working style. Even if you want to know how to work with a computer, you will, without a doubt, sort it out quickly and without any particular problems. As a rule, the power supply can be blamed on a different display building. You can change it through the menu "Settings/Permissions". All the names will already be in the "native and able": Russian Linux is easier for everyone on the planet to master!
If it’s so in your mind that he allowed it to be necessary to install independently, automatically for no reason was asked. Don't worry: you need to go to the "System / Driver Manager" menu, select the one from the list of the one you want to write "Recommendations", press the "Stop Changes" button, click until the process is completed, and then restart the computer. At the top, as if with a dartless sound, they called out like a power supply, so hurry up with the “Driver Manager”.
Zagalom when working with "Mintom" in more or less successful cases of Windows XP, problems are rare. So, you can fix Linux on the right, not over it, but it's easy to turn around and do it.
Work with application utilities
All major programs are accessible through the Start menu. Through a series of searches, it is easy to know those utilities, you don’t know any of them. For example, if you often enter th or "mail", the system will immediately open the Thunderbird mail program. It is recommended to close the programs, which are most often victorious, on the "Panel zavdan". For this, you need to click on the program shortcut with the right mouse button and select the required item from the menu that popped up.
The "Program Manager" will help you to install those application programs, which the system does not have on hand. To run yoga, you need to go to the "System" menu. Skills in the "Manager" є Thousands of programs, sorted by category, you will definitely not get into a stupor for those who do not know the shortcomings: "Internet", "Audio and Video", "Graphics", "Games" will help you choose the program you need. I also use the function of a joke, as it makes it even easier to work with this brown package. For example, you can enter a string of Skype calls, so that you are suddenly thrown at the installation window of that client.
Vzagali, koristuvachi Linux mayut thousand alternatives to Windows programs. It's just that in more vipadkіv the stench will be called differently. In order to find the best supplement that suits you, you can turn to the all-powerful Internet for help.
Poshukov's nutrition can be formulated here like this, for sure. Having rummaged through the messages, you will melodiously know the necessary solution. Before speech! Do not guide for help to Ubuntu. These two distribution kits (may be based on the respect of Mint) were based on an absolutely analogous basis, so for the sake of reaching the coristuvachs, they will definitely not be taken.
Benefits to the "Installation Center"
Let's say that you just said the name of the program, which is necessary for you to work. You can simply copy the name and paste it in a row with a joke from the "Manager". Significantly, we recommend that uninformed people use it themselves, and not zavantazhuvat install packets from the Internet. First of all, so you reject the most arguable and distorted releases. In another way, you can be more confident in the absolute safety of the programs, as if they were removed in this way. Installing the best Linux does not secure the right zakhist, as if installing "left" programs from unreasonable dzherel.
Thirdly, all programs are updated centrally, at the same time with the system itself. It's not only handy, but it's super important for the safety of your computer and quiet documents, like on a hard disk. Before speech, about the presence of the update, inform the badge at the shield, which is located in the lower right corner. As a matter of necessity, by going to the “System” menu item and selecting the appropriate value, start the process of updating the system in manual mode.
Forget about My Computer
To open an analogue of “My Computer”, you need to click on the folder icon in the left corner (on the back panel). The window has a budinochka icon, on which the names are written, as you chose during the installation of the system. Click on new. The window of the file manager is displayed in full sound, in which you can select folders with the names “Video”, “Photo”, “Documents” just like that.
In principle, access to the USB port will be easier and less expensive for everyday use. It's good to know how to acquire the environment, that in Linux there are no letters for the identification of hard disks. If you connect a flash drive or an optical disk, the system will not only inform you about the installation (connection) in the distance, but it will also show its icon on the working style. Just the kind duzhe zruchno!
For that, if there are two systems on your computer (Windows and Linux), you can’t see that Linux was distributed with Windows without special utilities! So be careful and don't see Windows through lack of knowledge!
Food security
In principle, food safety does not play such an important role here, as we were talking about the name "Winda". But here, unfortunately, it’s not varto to relax. It is necessary to take up some elementary foreign entries.
The main elements of zakhistu were already guessing more. First - a password is put on the system obov'yazkovo, moreover, it is impossible to change the mind. You may have to enter it when you perform any operations, so that the safety of your computer will be affected. Without a password, a hypothetical intruder will never be able to pass a malicious program onto your computer. Another element is the post-installation of updates. Well, in Mint the procedure is easy and obvious.
As you give special attention to the security, you can install additional programs that adjust this parameter. Catch the respect that a lot of these utilities are working, vikoristovuyuchi to launch the command line. For which the terminal is stopped, which is called by the Win + T keys.
How to get used to the support of Windows XP did not find you yourself, singsongly the system was left on some old computer: from a son, a grandmother, or a friend. At any other time, it is impossible to let this situation go on self-fueling.
For a good 13 years, we can talk about those victorious methods that are ahead of us in terms of security, even far from today's standards. "Dirki" more than curry to anyone, and smart hackers to rub their hands.
The threat, caused by XP support, is expanding further: computer infections from the system can become a springboard for viruses and attacks at home.
Visible, handy, and a safe alternative can be Linux. Do not fight: as soon as you install Windows, it will miraculously fit into your system. Mi rozpovimo, how to switch to it.
Advantages of Linux
Security: I regularly check security updates for Windows XP, Linux
Compact: Linux works wonders on older PCs with little RAM
Resilience: Linux promotes different interfaces
Equipment: Linux secures the latest set of necessary programs
Cost-free: the entire Linux package is free of charge for your every penny
Yaku Linux vibrati?
The rest of the computer hardware, on which the XP system stood, is better for everything, already outdated, you need the easiest version possible. Vzagali at Linux the most modest zagali zagali schodo poluzhannosti poslavnannya s іnshimi operating systems.
Prote, between numerous distributions of OS and vіdminnostі. Razznyayutsya as a hardware aid, and the simplicity of vikoristannya, accessibility for an unprepared koristuvach.
We recommend downloading the most popular distribution for today. Wines are supplied from various graphic shells. With this, for the logic of the organization of the interface, all of the “Working tables” are already similar to Windows XP. From now on, the transition to the new system will be as simple as possible.
For computers two or three years old with 1 GB operative memory for "topovy" Linux Mint Cinnamon. For older and weaker PCs, we recommend a light and non-buggy version with a shell xfce. Itself on this OS we were encouraged by our helper of the transition to Linux Mint.
Getting Ready Before Switching to Mint
From the linuxmint.com website, grab the ISO image of the Linux Mint system. You also need the Universal USB Installer program like Pendrivelinux. For the help of this cost-free program with a size of 1 MB, and in a couple of clicks, create an exciting flash drive with the Linux Mint system.
For Windows, run the Universal USB Installer, which does not require installation. Vіdkriєtsya vіkno, in which you can quickly grow the necessary adjustment. From the top menu select "Linux Mint" (Step 1). Below (Step 2) enter the Linux Mint image enhancement. At the end (Step 3), select a USB storage device with a capacity of at least 2 GB.
By clicking on the mouse on Create, an exciting flash drive will be created. Respect! Universal USB Installer can see the whole thing from your nose.
With the help of the Universal USB Installer utility, the Mint system relies heavily on USB storage drives, which are easy to install on your PC.
Now insert the USB stick into the correct port of the computer and re-attach it. For more options, you can change the advanced sequence in the BIOS, or for the additional swedish advanced menu. For access to the rest of the computer, the key is F11 or F12.
Yakscho did not spratsyuvalo - happen to go to the BIOS. The button that wins for this one will be displayed on the PC screen at startup. Ring out the keys Del or F2. In the BIOS, you need to know how to set "Boot Priority" and set the startup from the USB drive to the first one.
At the same time, the interest of a USB storage device may not work. In this way, I happen to be able to speed up with a lucrative DVD. Burn the ISO image of Linux Mint on an empty nose with the help of the cost-free program CDBurnerXP. On Windows 7 and 8 systems, prompt this operation through the context menu to the image file.
After burning the ISO to a DVD, grab the computer from the newly created laptop. It's better for everything, and with any method, you can go to the BIOS, as described above. The Linux Mint Installer start screen is to blame for the opposite way.
Test and install
For now, we don't know what our Linux Mint computer is running into. An easy way to know about it: Linux Mint will automatically grab a Live system from a USB drive or a DVD. Allow me to try and reconsider the system: understand how the module of the wireless connection is known, how to handle the video card and other components.
If you are interested in the "live" system, click on the gear icon in the lower left corner on the Taskbar to open the "Start" menu. At the points "System" (System) and "Settings" selected all important information about the possession, as it showed that OS recognized, as well as available settings and settings. In other menu items, select applications that come with the Linux Mint kit.
The Mint Start menu gives you quick access to the program to set it up like Windows XP The Live-system has an English interface. Come on, don't beat you up with a pantel. When installing in one of the first three cities, you can choose Russian, Ukrainian or other languages without any available languages. After the installation is completed, you will remove the localization of the operating system and the program again.
As a first step against Linux Mint, start the installation by clicking on the shortcut "Install Linux Mint" (Install Linux Mint) on the desktop. If you are prompted by Windows, the installer will promptly ask you to set the basic parameters.
Mint expand the necessary space on the disk and revise the Internet connection. Sens at the connection: even when installing the distribution kit, make sure that it stops the available updates.
To install Linux Mint on a PC, click on the icon on the desktop of the Live system. It is recommended to connect to the Internet before I lost my time to choose my time zone, install the keyboard layout behind the lock and come up with my own password. It is recommended to set a password of at least eight characters, including great and great letters, as well as special characters and numbers.
On the hard drive, Linux files are copied. Navit on old computers, this process is not guilty of taking over 30-45 minutes. The installation is completed by rebooting.
First steps at Mint
The working style Xfce is guilty of old hardware problems. When you log in to the system, you will be asked to complete a simple working style. Koristuvachі XP have a new shvidko zorіentuyutsya. At the bottom, the taskbar and the Start menu are ripped. At the branch “Parameters | Display" adjust the screen size.
If there were problems at some stage, it means that the automatic integration of the video card did not work. Do not boast: go to the menu "System | Driver Manager”, from the list of video drivers requested, select the one that means the word “recommendations”, and press the “Change” button (you need to reload).
If the Wi-Fi module driver is not installed automatically, it can also be installed through the Driver Manager.
Firefox browser, Thuderbird mail, VLC media player - a lot of programs for Linux Mint are well known to sound familiar Windows Otherwise, the work of Mint is not guilty of presenting difficulties for Windows XP drivers.
Access to the main programs is through the "Start" menu. If you don’t remember, you yourself need a program - a row of jokes before your services. For example, if you type "th" or "mail", the Thunderbird mail client will appear.
Programs that are frequently called, manually close in the "Selected" or on the Task Panel. You can also start by clicking on the program icon with the right mouse button.
To install new programs, hurry up with the Program Manager. Vin is launched from the "System" menu. "Manager" offers tens of thousands of addendums sorted under the headings: "Internet", "Audio and Video", "Graphics", "Games" toshcho.
A joke function is also available. Enter, for example, Skype, and you will be immediately redirected to the installation package of that client.
It is not necessary to add additional software on the Internet - drivers and programs are installed for additional add-on-managers Most of the main Windows add-ons and fully functional counterparts in Linux Mint. But the stench can be called otherwise. To find out the most suitable program for you, as if you were on Windows, it’s easier to turn to the Internet.
Enter in the search system, for example, "Linux Mint alternative to Photoshop" or "Linux Mint short photo editor". Numerical look around and the discussions on the forums will help you choose the program with the optimal set of possibilities.
Deputy "Linux Mint" for an hour you can search for the word "Ubuntu". The other popular distribution of Linux is the closest relative of Mint and, for all intents and purposes, active.
Just type the name of the program in the row of shuffles and run the installed Father, you knew the program, which you didn’t get. Copy the name in the Program Manager and install it in the way indicated earlier.
Installation itself through the manager, and not from the Internet, may be two important things. In the first place, it was official that it was due to the re-verification of the integrity of the package. That way, the installed programs will not have a bad code or other non-acceptable bookmarks.
In another way, the programs are centrally installed and updated centrally, together with the system. Tse zruchno is important for the safety of the computer. About the appearance of an update, the icon at the bottom right corner of the screen. Also, "Update Manager" can be started manually in the "System" menu item.
Filey Koristuvacha
To go to the folders, deselect the files, click on the third icon in the lower left corner. At the menu that appears, click on the end of the budinochka, and your name is written instructed.
Sounds like a file manager. And in the new one - your home directory, in which folders for different types of files have already been prepared: "Documents", "Music", "Video", "Images" and so on.
Ubuntu: another distribution kit for popularity in the world copes with miraculous hostility on any computer. However, the logic of this interface is seriously challenged in Windows XP, and the hardware may be the real thing. Perhaps, only access to USB- and other storage devices can be used as a large amount of Windows troch to restore its recovery.
On Linux, you don't know any letters for identifying disks. Mint just adds all data to the directory tree (near the right side of the file manager window). When you plug in an existing disc or insert a DVD, the system automatically mounts it and clearly informs you about it.
Turbo security is needed in Linux
It is confirmed that when working with Linux it is not necessary to worry about security, the shards for it do not contain viruses and hacker attacks, in fact, the pardon is only wider. Insanely, Linux is significantly less annoying to evildoers, lower operating systems like Microsoft - and more outdated Windows XP. Prote dotrimannya deyakyh safety rules are necessary.
elementaryOS: thought richly, elementaryOS is the most beautiful Linux in the world. Krіm zvnіshny vglyadu tsey distribution kit pіdkoryuє shvidkіstyu roboti and garnoy complete set. Two firebrand elements were already guessing at me. The first is the last password. It is necessary to enter it when new programs are installed, upgraded, fixed, and other service tasks that are running on the system. The password itself must be given to us for those who are a malicious person, it is farther away, or by changing your PC, it is not possible to pass a program into the system.
Another element is regular updates. More importantly, in Linux Mint the procedure is simple and straightforward.
Security is not good enough: bring the Linux package to the cob With additional security visits, you will install the security software package. Tse firewall (obov'yazkovo), as well as antivirus, anti-spy gun and anti-rootkit. We recommend gufw, ClamTK, chkrootkit and rkhunter programs.
Respect that the remaining two utilities work from the command line. For this launch, in the Start menu, select "System | Terminal Xfce. At the window, type the name of the program and press Enter.

Maybe, it’s all because of the rest of Windows telemetry, or maybe you just want a stable system and don’t see problems with viruses. And yet another important factor is the orientation of rich Linux distributions for low-end computers.
Advantages of Linux in front of the reshtoy
The main advantage of Linux-systems is the lack of cost and freedom of expansion. Particularly important are the great enterprises, if it is necessary to provide a computer park with a practical system. And buying a license is already expensive. Until then, more software for Linux is also cost-free. Among them, you can find a lot of analogues of commercial supplements.
The flexibility of customizing Linux systems allows you to customize your own. Having gone through the kernel, you can deplete the required components and turn them off, which do not vikoristovuyutsya.
The fact that Linux systems can be easily expanded and can be a great choice of enthusiasts, as well as constantly chasing for the same additions and products, guarantees their safety and practicality.
Also, mastering the richness of the meshes and the key elements of the Linux system is actively developing the understanding of the robots and computers in a flash. And ce, like nothing else, is relevant for system administrators and programmers-pochatkivtsiv.
Linux distributions for weak computers
Prices on a new computer are growing fast, and it’s not possible to upgrade them all the time. A lot of Linux distributions built to feel wonderful on old PCs. There will be a few presentations of the simplest and most popular versions of systems.
Lubuntu
Lightweight and optimized for a swedish robot distribution kit, based on Ubuntu, one of the best Linux for weak computers. The working style LXDE is victorious, it is not viable to resources.
LXDE is deciphered and translated from English as an easy x11 sharpening of the working table. The rest of the current version is Lubuntu 17.04.
The minimum amount of operational memory of the computer, for which it is possible to launch - 128 MB. A space on a hard disk is 2 GB.
Puppy Linux
Without a doubt, the lightest and most resourceful Linux distribution for weak computers. The image on the official website must be three times larger than 200 Mb.
Of the main features, you can name those that are launching directly from a flash drive. Pratsiuє system duzhe shvidko that without zboїv. To launch a new computer with a frequency of 500 MHz and a working memory of at least 128 MB.
Tiny Core
The smallest distribution kit in the world. Yogo volume rarely transfers 20 Mb. Naturally, in every Linux distribution for older computers, there is a minimal software package required for basic operations.
Bodhi Linux
Yet another variant of Linux for older computers. Starting on Ubuntu. Saves a minimum of memory and processor resources. On board yoga out of the box go only necessary for everyday robotic programs - file managers, browsers and text editors. However, everything you need can be installed with the help of the apt utility.
Peppermint OS
Tsey representative of the foundations on Lubuntu with a lot of twists and turns. For example, the position of the working steel LXDE. To download the distributive download 192 MB of RAM. With this box, all the necessary set of programs and utilities is supplied.
Linux Lite
Linux Lite for weak computers to finish the popular Linux environment. Foundations on Ubuntu and as a working style Vikoristovu XFCE, not powerful to resources. Operating system retailers are positioned as a way to upgrade Windows to Linux.
The powers of the system are not the least, but they are small. The minimum frequency of the processor is 700 MHz, with 512 MB of RAM.
Linux Mint
Linux Mint for low-end computers was first based on Ubuntu, but later on, others began to appear, for example, on Debian. Like a working steel, all the modern packages are victorious.
Although it is not possible in general to win Linux Mint for weak computers, nevertheless it is positioned as the simplest operating system for swedish mastering. Mint of equipment necessary for everyday work and software security. Everything that is necessary for the core can be installed from the Ubuntu repositories. The motto of the system is freedom brought elegance.
In order for Mint to start up instantly, the computer is responsible for equipping 512 MB of RAM. Hard disk capacity - 4 GB. Wimogi up to the video card is minimal - the distribution of buildings is 800 to 600.
The main storage systems are Ubuntu's next release, the Linux kernel. The kit comes with a minimum set of codecs for playing video and audio.
In the middle of the work tables, there is a great opportunity to expand the Mint - Cinnamon team.
Linux distributions for weak computers in 2016
A lot of computers are hopelessly outdated, and not all distributions of buildings can be installed on them. This is due to the fact that a lot of systems have ceased to be supported and updated. Linux for weak computers in 2016 can be represented by Damn Small Linux - a lightweight and non-buggy distribution. The rozrobniks specifically do not include innovations in the image, including the core, so that a lot of old computers could run yoga in themselves.
Installation methods
For rich Windows speakers, the familiar look and feel of Linux can be unimaginable. Therefore, you can look at a few options for installing Linux on a computer. The process is deshcho vіd_znyaєtsya vіd standard. Before you install Linux on your computer, you need to download the image. Robiti is required from the official website of retailers. Tse dopomozhe niknuti vprovadzhennya system shkіdlyvogo code.

The remaining stable version of Mint is 18.1. The won is available for purchase from the retailer's website in several desktop options - Cinnamon, MATE, Xfce, KDE. It is based on the nearest release version of Ubuntu LTS. In order for it to run on a personal computer, the mother is responsible for at least 512 MB of RAM and 9 GB of space on a hard drive.
The image of the image should be written down on the nose. For example, on a USB flash drive. For whom you can hack the unetbootin utility, as it is available on Linux. Windows has a program called Rufus. Offensive stench is practiced approximately for one principle - an image is shown, the button "Start" or "Ok" is pressed.
Now the system is rebooting. The process needs to be taken to the BIOS of the computer. To fight against the onslaught of Del, F12 or other buttons, stalely in the motherboard. In the priority menu, you need to specify a USB flash drive in the image.
After the launch, the system will be automatically captured. Linux will propagate a few options:
launch Linux Mint;
start in the mode of mindfulness;
installed in OEM mode;
memory testing;
The easiest choice is to run Linux Mint. The first thing to shove a koristuvach is a roboche sharpened. Before you install the system, її you can try it. Restore the settings, browse the menu, go to the Internet.
To open the installation, you need to click on the Install Linux Mint icon. Choose your choice of movie. The necessary one is restored and the “Continue” button is pressed. At the next stage, you will be prompted to remove or check the box “Install a third-party software”. On the right, in that all software is safe, like in Ubuntu, and also in Mint, I will definitely say that it is free. And in order to install components with a different type of license, it is necessary to pay attention to the process of installing it.
Dali the system to move on until the creation of the partition of the disk, which will be installed. There are two options - erase the disk, or else. The first one is needed for simple installation, the other one is for manual disk partitioning for every hour of many systems.
You can create a new distribution table by pressing the New distribution table button.
The first step to specify was the partition of Boot. For whom it is necessary to press on the plus sign at the left part of the window. Disk space is about 300 MB. The file system type is ext2, the mount point is /boot.
The system partition has the main part of the OS. A dot for її mounting is indicated for the additional sign "/". You can see for it close to 50 GB, and the file system is ext4.
The next step is to install a partition for the files of the koristuvach. The mount point for the new one is /home. The file system is ext4.
One more split - swap, to serve for podkachuvannya in case of lack of operational memory.
Now the layout is completed and you can hit "Proceed". Stepping forward, let me choose a belt, and then we will lay out the keyboard.
In the rest of the week, it is necessary to indicate the name of the system manager, I will name the computer and the password to enter the working class.
After pressing the "Continue" button, the installation process will start. Fallow according to the characteristics of the possession of a PC, it can be taken from the soil of the year. For example, there will be a renewal, after which a new Linux Mint operating system will appear on the computer.
To enter, you need to enter the password of the koristuvach created during the installation process.
Now the version of Linux for weak computers is installed and ready to be mastered.
Installed Tiny Core Linux
There are three types of images available to capture the Tiny operating system:
core. Important total 11 Mb and є basic set of components. All work is performed at the command row mode. Therefore, this type is hardly suitable for a peresichny koristuvach.
Tinycore. Tsey type can be graphically sharpened and can be expanded 16 Mb. So, like the previous one, there are no appointments for installation, but rather launching in Live mode.
coreplus. Full installation image. May all the necessary drivers for the primary purpose of that robotic possession, such as WiFi, Bluetooth and others.
From the last overexploited vishche, the rest itself will happen to be vanquished. For this, a computer with 128 MB of memory is recommended.
It is necessary to write down the capture image in any accessible way on the accumulating device and restart the computer from the designated black capture capacity.
After the launch of the system from the nose of the coristuvachev, it will be necessary to choose the option of investing. Nayvischiy run type for zamovchuvannyam. For the support of the dartless meshes and the drivers, the fine points are similar to the list.
Starting the system will allow you to do it fast. І nevdovzі koristuvach to pump the working steel Tiny. Alas, the version has not yet been installed and is no longer in the operational memory. Therefore, it is necessary to start the installation process. For this one, use the TC_Install icon.
The first crochet gives you the opportunity to choose a hard disk, on which it will be installed. For a simple option, you can select the Whole Disk item, which means that the entire disk will be required by the system.

To win Russian language, you need to win a couple of commands at the terminal:
ab getlocale.tcz
Let's run the getlocale script and choose the Russian language.
Now the system is almost ready to win in the Russian segment.
Ubuntu on a weak computer
Ubuntu is not the lightest of the Linux distributions. For this reason, vikoristov is the most modern software security and the leader of stable technologies. In order to develop Linux Ubuntu for low-end computers, it may be necessary to jump to early versions. For example, 7.04 feels amazing on older platforms with 256 MB of RAM and a 700 MHz processor.
Ubuntu desktops
It also contributes to the productivity with a significant world, as if it were more honed victorious. Dalі bude submissions a list of the most popular and їх inflows into the system.
unity. Victory for promotions in the remaining versions of "Ubuntu". It is beautiful and functional, but to finish the coat and may not be enough. And also not maє universal kіlkostі nalashtuvan.
XFCE. Much more productive is that lightweight shell. It is even strongly optimized and works well on weak computers under Ubuntu.
Cinnamon. Powerful technology for the Mint project. Good and practical interface. Even similar to the graphical design of Windows. Saves a little bit of system resources, which is signified by global productivity.
