Ubuntu Studio 15.02
Ubuntu Studio is for creative Linux guys and girls.
It is XFCE and boots fast enough.
It also has Open Office and Calligra.
What is not their can be downloaded from Synaptic package manager.
This is one distribution which has 95% of the applications and takes the downloading extra packages redundant.
I tried Ubuntu Gnome but it did not boot.
Why I do not know.
I have an old IBM.
But all Debian distributions booted well.
So better option for a beginner is Ubuntu Studio but for guy who is adept at Linux should also try Debian.
Mind you one can have both (dual boot) distributions in one computer or hard disk.
Thank YOU guys and Girls of Ubuntu Studio for having a version for 36 bit computers.
Debian on the other hand has PAE (both 32 and 64 bits in one image).
That is the better solution which most distributions with 64 bits do not care.
