I would like an OS that's very stable and offers great internet searching,good for light gaming.

My laptop is a toshiba satellite C850-176.

Intel HD Graphics 3000

4Gb DRR3 1333 Mhz ram

500 Gb Samsung HDD

    I installed Linux Lite on an older (10 years?) Toshiba Satellite with similar specs. It works great. I did a dual boot in case I needed Windows 7 but so far, there's been no need for W7.

    This worked great on two older laptops. I'm currently having difficulty getting it to go on a newer one but I started a whole new thread on that. The old Toshiba Satellite Pro and a newer Toshiba Satellite both love it.
