Hello friends,
I am linux user and I use programs like netBeans and Eclipse with httpd (apache2) and mysql as backend servers..
I cannot really work, I tried to switch to lightweight distributions too but my programs just wouldnt work.. so I decided to upgrade my laptop..

my linux terminal shows my computer specs as:
