I would like to know where I can buy a CD/DVD for Linux installation on my old computer. Because recently, twice, from eBay I bought a Linux CD installation, but it did not work. While being installed it just stopped working, freeze.

I tried downloading the installation iso file, but it took too long and I had to cancel the download.

I have a very, very old desktop computer with Windows XP installed. Also I cannot afford to buy a new computer.

  • even if it slow, try this. It should be faster and it never cancels even if your internet goes off. https://mega.co.nz/#!BI9lCSya!6V8wteT1axxUct97E31TXMMuLIiFUjclwoY7CKWSlu4 Just press download to your computer – Lorem Ipsum Apr 29 '15 at 13:21
  • Before you buy anything, maybe give the specs so we know what you mean when you say "I have a very, very old desktop computer". Depending on specs you may not even be able to run the full Ubuntu. It could save you some money – John Kirchner Apr 29 '15 at 13:38
  • I think his "very, very old desktop computer with Windows XP installed" has maybe 256MB RAM, so Ubuntu is a definite "no" and so is Xubuntu. – karel Apr 29 '15 at 13:40
