Quiet, prolonged use under Lubuntu 14.04

Criteria:
- Softly
- Low energy consumption
Grown a modern operating system -
- Nothing useless for our needs on board (for example, optical drive, huge hard drive, operating system) - only costs money.

Responsibilities:
- Internet, there also plays video, and although please smoothly and without hanger
- Office
- Photo editing at a low level (rotate, crop, color correction)

Have decided on the Zotac ZBOX ID18 and do not regret it. I have supplemented the barebone with 4GB Kingston-Ram (Kingston KVR16S11S8 / 4 memory 4GB) and a small SSD (SSD 120GB Crucial CT120M500SSD1 internal). And he runs like a Lottchen, noise through the fan is minimal, and it creates even photo editing. Here, however, he runs no longer so fast.

The operating system I have chosen for a lightweight: the box is running with Lubuntu 04.14 LTS without grumbling. The start time is stunning for our terms - 25sec.

The operating system, however, there's also the point deduction:

WHILE most tested 32bit systems out of the box running (Linux Mnt 17 Cinnamon, Lubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 04.14 - only dropouts: Linux Mint 17 Xfce), worked on the 64bit systems only Ubuntu 14:04 spontaneously. The other (Lubuntu 14.10 Linux Mint 17 Xfce, Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon) made during the test run problems. Message: "You Need to load the kernel first". Zusammenzubasteln a New Kernel exceeds my horizons, so there are only times no more than 4GB of RAM.

Now I realize that you can not really blame the box the missing driver support for 64bit systems, but that the tested operating systems because evidently lacking any drivers. It makes the box but for a non-geek a little more difficult in the installation, so a point deduction. Otherwise strong buy recommendation.
