| Sure you can put Linux on that - thats a prime Linux machine. Got www.linuxiso.org and grab the Knoppix distro - this will get you Linux on a bootable CD. This way you can play with Linux and see how the machine handles it without installing it. If you no like it just remove the CD, restart and your back to Windows. If you like it find a regular distro and do some reading - Linux is great if you have just a bit of patience. | ||
