UBUNTU COMPATIBILITY with ECS Motherboard Socket 462
Hello World !!!
I have an old Elite Group Taiwan Motherboard ECS Model K7S7AG With standard hardware, IDE Storage, PCI Video Card, no problem. With the AMD ANTHALON Processor 1.0 GHz, I need to know the BEST, CLOSEST, UPDATED, UBUNTU 32 BIT Version to use, I know I cannot throw UBUNTU 20.04 LTS on there, so, can we start a UBUNTU 10.04 LTS? or whatever CPU Support that was not dropped. PLEASE HELP, as I want to FREE THIS COMPUTER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE HE HE HE HE

Reason: mis spelled word :(
Only 14.04, 16.04, and 17.04 are currently supported, which of course 17.04 isn't an LTS and so will be unsupported soon. So if you want to start as old as possible, that would be 14.04.

I will try with the older 14.04 LTS on this ECS K7S7AG Motherboard
from 2003.
