Greetings Everyone....
Linux is a new experience for me, I've always been a windows user.
So I've decided to give Linux Mint a whirl. I've installed it on old Dell Laptop that was running Win XP Pro,
So far it's been pretty cool, the laptop is old and doesn't have a lot of memory, but over all I think Linux is gonna be
a cool experience.....

the laptop is old and doesn't have a lot of memory,
Linux core will run quite happily with 500kb ram,I find mint is at it's best with 2mb, anything over that for general computing is a waste.

Pretty sure he means 500 megs of RAM, and 2 gigs of RAM.
