Is Ubuntu Compatible With the Hardware?

compatibilityhardwaresystem-installation

I am a bit financially strapped and received a Gateway GT5056 tower. The tower has an AMD dual core 64-bit processor in it. Will Ubuntu 12.04 run on this machine? I will not have any other application other than LibreOffice installed.

Accepted Answer

You can confirm if it’ll work or not by downloading the Live CD ISO and booting with the Live CD. This will not install ubuntu on your machine, but will let you run it for the session. This way you can verify if all your hardware is supported.

You can try Lubuntu, which is a lightweight version of Ubuntu with a very fast and light window manager.
