Hello Everyone,

At the moment I'm fixing a Dell Studio 1737 and would like to replace the current OS with Linux. Can someone please give some ideas on which Linux distros would be best for this laptop?

Laptop Detail :

Dell Studio 1737 - 17" - Core 2 Duo T6500 - Vista Home Premium - 4 GB RAM - 500 GB HDD

Thank You for the help.

"Best" is really subjective... Depends on what you want to do with your OS. Only you can decide what is "best"

This laptop is not mine that I'm fixing it for a family friend. The main thing there going to use this laptop for is just for Facebook and maybe youtube.


Thank You for the reply.

probably some ubuntu LTS variant will work best. LTS so they will not have to worry about upgrades breaking their system..

ie
Ubuntu, Lubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu, Linux Mint.

Thank You Skittles for your help.

The Linux that I pick for the Laptop was Ubuntu.
