Update Oct.1, 2014: We have installed Linux Mate 17 for old computers to replace Ubuntu 10.04. Note: Lubuntu 14.04 is also good, but we prefer the old Gnome 2. The bottom panel was replaced top panel and the default Mate menu was replaced with menu bar (A Custom menu bar). ========================= First thing we need to do is to change the software sources. to edit /etc/apt/sources.list and change archive.ubuntu.com to old-releases.ubuntu.com Or do this with sed sudo sed -i -e 's/archive.ubuntu.com\|security.ubuntu.com/old-releases.ubuntu.com/g' /etc/apt/sources.list then update with sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Next, we need to manually download and install the current softwares. 1. LibreOffice 4.1 2. Unison Current version (2.40) https://launchpad.net/~pascal-bach/+archive/unison/+build/4620699 3. Wine 14 for Lucid 4. Virtualbox 5. Skype choose Ubuntu 10.04 edition 6. Install VLC 1.1.4 (Lucid Sopcast work only in this version, not 1.1.6 or 1.1.13) sudo apt-get purge vlc
