Did some digging around this morning and found my old Dell laptop and decided to see how Ubuntu MATE runs on it. I remember when I got this in 2005 and through Ubuntu 5.04 on it it was awesome, and just as good with 15.04 (except a little slower now and only 1gb of RAM instead of 2).
and this next one is a picture of the latptop its self.
Will next see how well it boots on my ThinkPad T20 with a Pentium III
