I have an old laptop freezes on my room. I want to install Linux Ubuntu Sabily inside it. Is it can handle Sabily or not? Base on the specification, it should be able to handle a distro like Ubuntu/Sabily. First of all I need to check all the parts condition either still functioning or damaged already. Operating System installed inside it before is Windows XP and it can work perfectly for surfing Internet, office job, playing music etc excepts playing 3D games.

Fedora 12 already release. What about Sabily 9.10 ?. Their target to release on December, Insyaallah. While waiting for new version, now I'm downloading fedora 12 for testing and comparison purpose. Is it can run on our lovely Linux Sabily? As usually, I will try using Virtualbox either than making multi boot process. Hope I can post the result with video after next two days. I will split also the file to support fedora's user who unable to download it cause of the big ISO file in fedora's server.
