I have a very old laptop which slow as hell, so I want to install Linux on it and give it to my mum (she literally just browses the internet)
I've never used Linux before, but I've read you can boot linux and run it from a USB stick; I want to do this first before installing it to the hard drive to see what it's like
I've tried this , but it says "an error occured while executing syslinux. Your USB drive won't be bootable"
Also on the drop down list provided in the install app, which version of Ubuntu should I install? 'cos there's loadsss
