Interesting! How do you think Ubuntu works on older hardware? I've used Red Hat since something like version 6, and have now gone to Fedora on the servers. But it was WAY too slow on my wife's old Sony Viao notebook computer. I'm currently trying Puppy Linux, and it is working very well except for the wireless card on boot up. It says it's configuring it and doing DHCP, but it's messing it up some how. If I then unplug the card, plug it back in, and tell it to scan for networks, it works fine. Otherwise, it seems good so far. Really fast!
