| dreamscape | hi all, I'm trying to setup a Dell Optiplex thin client as a little download/storage server. It's a Intel Atom 230 1.6ghz 1 core with HT, 2GB RAM, 500gb SSHD. Would Lubuntu run well with this? | 22:34 |
| wxl | dreamscape: yep | 22:41 |
| wxl | though i will say if it's a server, i wouldn't use a gui at all | 22:41 |
| dreamscape | I need to have a browser for downloads otherwise yeah i would ditch the gui in a second. | 22:42 |
| dreamscape | Is it wise to use the 32 bit version on older hardware or 64 bit? I don't have any plans to go 4gb RAM with this little machine. | 22:42 |
| wxl | you could use wget? | 22:42 |
| wxl | i'd say go 64 bit | 22:42 |
| wxl | as long as your machine supports it, which it should | 22:42 |
| dreamscape | It does indeed have a 64 bit capable CPU. Albeit very old... ha! | 22:43 |
| wxl | there's really no negative to doing 64 bit if the machine is capable | 22:43 |
| wxl | but there can be negatives to doing 32 bit | 22:43 |
| wxl | we've generally suggested to use 32 bit unless you're sure, which works (32 bit runs everywhere) but i don't love that suggestion | 22:44 |
| dreamscape | great thank you | 22:44 |
| wxl | no problem | 22:45 |
| wxl | enjoy your new OS :) | 22:45 |
| dreamscape | I've been using Ubuntu MATE, the machine runs well in the actual OS but in browsers/download manager it maxes the CPU and becomes unusable :( hopefully Lubuntu will be better. | 22:46 |
| wxl | mate is fairly light but we're a little hardcore about light, so it should give you a little extra edge | 22:47 |
| fffffff | hello | 23:01 |
