In today's video I chat about fixing up an old laptop using Linux. With the help of MX Linux, a somewhat lightweight Linux distribution, I managed to extend the life of this old Advent 5311. The full specs for it can be found at http://www.uktsupport.co.uk/advent/laptop/5311.htm
MX Linux can be found at https://mxlinux.org
"MX Linux is a cooperative venture between the antiX and former MEPIS communities, using the best tools and talents from each distro. It is a midweight OS designed to combine an elegant and efficient desktop with simple configuration, high stability, solid performance and medium-sized footprint." From the MX Linux website.
