I upgraded a headless server to Ubuntu 14.04 from LTS to LTS without issues at all. It's a fairly decent set of hardware (desktop hardware) 8 gigs of ram, etc. If you don't like having release upgrades have you considered a rolling distro like Gentoo or Arch? <div>-------- Original message --------</div><div>From: Dan Armbrust <daniel.armbrust.list at gmail.com> </div><div>Date:11/04/2014 1:47 AM (GMT-06:00) </div><div>To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org </div><div>Subject: Re: [tclug-list] Want an old video card out of your closet? </div><div> </div>On 11/03/2014 09:00 PM, paul g wrote: Even AGP works fine with GPU on 14.04.<-- Mint or Ubuntu.. - Pull up an ' lspci ' in terminal. Yea - what I have in there now isn't even that new. Its pure PCI - close to 20 years old or more. It was the only thing I had after I swapped hardware around that would work... my "better" retired video cards were AGP... but this MB doesn't have an AGP slot. Think http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S3_Trio Before the upgrade, it worked, and managed a laughable 640x480. After the upgrade, the TTYs are all garbled (probably wrong timing) and while the logon screen works - so X sometimes works - on logon, it immediately segfaults. I'm sure I could fix it... but I just don't care to :) Usually with upgrading on an LTS now means --- nothing new is gonna happen for about 4 years. Which is just what I want on this computer. Every time I upgrade it, I waste a day fixing what they broke :( -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
