Bambi79 said:Can anyone help with finding the manual for an outdated Acer Ferrari 3000LMI, please? I want to eventually change the operating system to a Linux version as it seems a shame not to use this attractive laptop.
Your Ferrari 3000LMI came with Win-XP and the AMD Athlon 2500+ (1.867 GHz frequency, FSB 266 MHz, L2 Cache 512KB) that does not have 64-bit support and with a 60GB hard drive, and a 128MB ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 graphics chip and with the PC2700 DDR SDRAM SODIMM RAM and came with 512MB of DDR333 SDRAM RAM that can be upgraded to a max of 2GB (2x 1GB into its 2x sockets) of the same type of RAM , that is if you can get them?
The most appropriate 32 bit Linux OS that you can install on this laptop are as follows; Debian, Zorin OS Lite, Bodhi Linux, Alpine Linux, BunsenLabs Linux, openSUSE (Tumbleweed), SliTaz GNU/Linux, AntiX Linux, Trisquel GNU/Linux and the Porteus. The best and top rated 32bit for your laptop is in the order I’ve listed them. Btw for a guide of "The Best 32-Bit Linux Distributions" look at that link.
