Comment 296 for bug 930447

This may not have been a burning issue in the past but, with Win XP going unsupported, there are many Celeron/Pentium M processor systems (concurrent with Win XP). that are now looking for easy solutions. I am in exactly that position and have never touched any flavour of Linux before. I needed something reasonably well packaged without a huge learning curve up front.

I tried various other flavours of Linux (including Lubuntu 12.04) and none of them really floated my boat but then I found the nonpae 12.04 desktop build mentioned by Dave Henningsson in reply #84 and that is exactly what an ignorant exile from Win XP was looking for. Easy to install, well packaged, no learning of command line fiddles and easy to use for a Linux first timer. Thanks Dave.

If it was that easy without searching then I guess more ex XP users would migrate rather than give up and go away.

Incidentally - Dave said he hadn't fully tested this build - I have given it quite a bending and have found no problems so far.
