Hey, I have a laptop that is Acer Aspire V5-431 and I want to install Linux in it but I'm having problems while installing it. I have tried two distro's till now which are Linux Mint XFCE and Zorin OS Core. It gives me an error like this [[^6~ there are multiple lines of this and then nothing happens. The specs of my system are-
Pentium 987
4GB DDR3 Ram
500GB HDD.
 


don't worry keep patient, your ram and hdd are sufficient. perhaps you need to enter user name ,password and then type " startx " without " on the black screen or terminal
 
I'd recommend trying antiX and/or absolute on that low-spec machine
 
Have you tried "Linux Lite" ?
I have installed it on several "low-spec" machines and it worked very well.
Very easy to install.
 
Debian, Slackware and Ubuntu, respectively -- take your pick, OP!
 
i guess thats some sort of sandwhich your suggesting bread filler both sides with meat in the middle

Describe the steps you took to install. Be specific...give details....talk us through the story.

an error like this [[^6~ there are multiple lines of this and then nothing happens......does not tell us a great deal

We need to know what happened/what was done etc etc before this error

eg, did you load the iso onto a cd or a usb stick ?....what did yo use to 'burn' the iso...?etc etc etc
