Hi.

I'm sorry if a similar question has been asked before, but I cant seem to find a answer that is good enough.

I have a Lenovo R61i with Intel Pentium T2370 (dual-core), 4 GB of RAM and a 40 GB SSD. My question is which Linux would be best for my laptop? I'm currently running Windows 8.1 64-bit, but it isn't really fast, and feels sluggish.

I have looked at some, but can't decide which Linux would be best:
Lubuntu, XFCE, CrunchBang, Bodhi and Mint. Any other recommendation is very welcome.

I study computer science, so a good bash scripting environment is necessary. By that I mean have all of the most common commands available. I currently run Slacko Puppy, or what it's called, and it's missing some usefuls commands, like tree and such.

Some input would be appreciated!
 


Lubuntu is the LXDE version of Ubuntu.
Xfce is not a distro, it is Desktop Environment, do you mean Xubuntu, which is the Xfce version of Ubuntu?
Crunchbang is an Openbox derivation of Debian.
Bodhi is an Enlightenment derivation of Ubuntu.
Mint is a derivation of Ubuntu.

So... you favour *Buntu versions, *Buntu derivations or Debian derivations...

The decision is really yours. Choose any you like.
