Apologies for the Hardware profile. I'd really like to know how to edit it to put the make and model of this test computer.
Anyway - its a Dell Optiplex GX60.
Downloaded lubuntu alternate i386, downloaded vivid-alternate-i386.iso, the 20150422 spin. On a different PC, downloaded the iso, installed it on a USB flash drive.
Installed lubuntu onto the Dekk Optiplex GX60. The install went smoothly with no errors. Rebooted. Looked at lubuntu software centre. Started Synaptic Package Manager and installed LibreOffice. Used LibreOffice Writer to create a test .odt file on the Desktop. Clicked on it. Abiword opened it with no errors. Went into LibreOffice Writer and opened the test file with no errors.
Have decided that when I am setting up a flash drive to install lubuntu from that I add a file of my own, "about-me.txt" to the flash drive. After install I will copy that file manually to the ~/Desktop of that PC.
Looks OK to me.
