BEST LINUX DISTRO FOR OLD INSTALL I386 ISO

An efficient Linux is Lubuntu. That leaves Linux (DonвЂ™t even think about an old Mac.) 1. I was triple booting my MBP but I stopped doing that and I now I use Virtualbox for those few times that I need Linux and Windows on my machine.Answer (1 of 16): Which OS is best for an old PC The term old implies Windows would be slow. Ubuntu 15.10, Mint 17.3, Zorin, etc. No need to run older versions of Ubuntu when the latest are much better. Otherwise, the firmware will be confused and the ISO cannot be booted.I too recommend running Linux on VirtualBox.

I have now installed Debian 8.7 (pretty up to date) on my MAc Mini 1,1. Lo and behold! This ISO boots OK. I thus googled around and found a Debian net-install i386 ISO specially made for mac with one bootloader.

I prefer Xubuntu and thus have chosen the Xfce desktop.I am a Chrome user. Those who prefer Ubuntu could choose the GNOME desktop. There are plenty desktops to choose from including GNOME, Xfce, KDE, Cinnamon, MATE and LXDE. Thus my Debian 8.7 is installed on an entire SSD without any issue with dual boot problem.The Debian net-install i386 ISO for mac installs the base Debian linux only and requires internet connection so that it would download other desktop or server components.
