Hi,<br>
<br>
I'm a new subscriber and an almost newby to Linux. I received an offer<br>
of a 10-year-old netbook running Lubuntu 13.10. It has an Intel Atom<br>
processor. I would like to upgrade the operating system, since the old<br>
one doesn't seem to support the Dvorak keyboard layout, which I use.<br>
<br>
I have followed instructions to create a boot disk for an updated<br>
version of Lubuntu, but when I tried to boot from it, I got an error.<br>
<br>
My question to you experts is: Is such a machine even capable of<br>
upgrading, or is it simply too out-of-date to bother with? If it is<br>
capable, is there someone who can help me do it? I'd be happy to bring<br>
it to the next meeting, if that's where such problems get sorted out.<br>
<br>
I really like netbooks, and since they don't make them anymore, I'd<br>
love to figure out how to use this one.<br>
<br>
Thanks so much!<br>
<br>
Bonnie<br>

You might try Haiku on that old netbook. We ran Haiku on a network<br>
during LinuxWorld back in 2008, and I think Haiku would still work on<br>
an old netbook.<br>
We released R1Beta1 just over a year ago, if that doesn't work try a<br>
recent nightly build. You can put it on a USB stick and then boot the<br>
netbook from it to test it out before installing it.<br>
