the script instructions and your quick response. I tried to make my previous email short and sweet and therefore left out many details. I suspect I am in a small last wave of folks needing to use Windows XP and switching to Linux. Although there may be more in the coming Windows 7 wave, if there are questions, I'll be happy to provide my approach and learnings during this journey to Linux. Update on the 2006 laptop hardware. AMD Trion 64x2, 1.61GHz, 1GB of RAM. I managed to upgrade the memory to a maximum of 2GB of RAM for about $20, which made a significant performance improvement and hopefully will prolong the utility of this hardware. I should say here that the goal for this laptop is portable basic computing. Email, music, web surfing, YouTube, word processing, Skype, etc. I think this goal has not only been reached, but will exceed in many cases. Barring hardware problems, I feel confident the Linux Mint 18.03 OS being able to reach LTS 2021 or maybe even LTS 2023 with an upgrade. (42/54)
