One of the great advantages of Linux is it has great support for older systems and legacy hardware. This week, we take a look at how Ubuntu 12.04 'Precise Pangolin' runs on an older system running older hardware. I found such a system in my very own office. In fact, the system that I am writing this article on! I have a PC which is roughly 5 years old. But when you're referring to the hardware inside, it's actually much older again. But in its prime years, this hardware would have been considered powerful. But I think it represents a basic system of todays average Linux user.
