[Blackpool] laptop power management in Linux

[Tony Hughes]

Hi Liz

I would suggest you also send a copy of the latest Linux Mint (mate) 
long term release and suggest she install that as Ubuntu 12.04 is now in 
extended support and will not receive any software updates only security 
updates to April 2017.

Mint 17 is based on Ubuntu 14.04 and is supported for software updates 
until 2016 and security updates until April 2019. She will also have 
more current software.

Ubuntu 14.04 is an option but Unity may or may not suit.

Tony
