I have an old Dell laptop,running XP, on my bench that I use for viewing schematics, terminal emulation etc. The other day the USB ports stopped working. It turns out that some old Sony mobile phone software has completely screwed all the settings and hidden itself in such a way that is proving difficult to completely remove. Thank you Sony
Now would be a good time to ditch Windows and go over to Linux. I'm looking for suggestions for something relatively easy to use with a graphic GUI that can support a PDF file reader, terminal emulator, Irfanview (or similar) etc.
The spec of the laptop is
Dell Inspiron 2200
1.4GHz Celeron processor.
1.2GByte Ram
75GB hard disc
DVD-RW drive
