[Tfug] Kubuntu 7.04

[Earl]

Interesting.  One Dell PIII I had (don't remember the model) didn't run anything newer than 6.10.  It ran Debian Etch with no problems.

That was a near life saver for me. I couldn't get my 8 year old Dell Inspiron 7500 PIII, 450 MHz notebook to even recognize the Kubuntu 7.10 live CD. I had SUSE 8.2 from April, 2003 running on the 'puter and it was way too tired to work effectively.

What happened most likely is that you had the same crummy luck with x.10
*buntu releases that a lot of other people have had.

The past two x.04 releases had very few problems; the past two x.10
releases were dogs.
