One is a linux machine that the person wants Windows put back on -- said he had nothing but trouble with it, lockups, not working -- Windows worked he said, he thought he would try ubuntu - gave it 6 months. Mind you Linux is not that fantastic either -- it has faults, just like every other OS in the world. NO OS is perfect. :D |

| 870582 | 2010-03-29 23:48:00 | I received a new doorstop recently. An HP pavilion 521A running Win XP home. It still has the original Hard drive with the restore partition. Specs? 1.3 Ghz Celeron 128 Megs RAM 40 Gig Hard drive CD-RW drive Broadband ready as it has an integrated 10/100 base 10 NIC. Go figure. The only useful feature is the Windows licence key stuck to the side of the case. I built the guy a new computer and got this box as part payment. The motherboard will only take as max two by 256 Meg sticks. |

| 870585 | 2010-03-30 01:14:00 | I have nothing against Ubuntu -- I "play around" with the OS when I feel like doing something different. What I did find ( personally) is 9.04 was OK, anything after that seemed to do stupid things, and actually take a few steps backwards so to speak. vista -- Well bit like ME -- Some worked OK, some didn't. I have Vista Dual booting on this PC and it works fine ( W7 is better though) - but on a workshop PC Vista is "full of surprises" ;) |

| 870586 | 2010-03-30 02:40:00 | I'm dual booting Win7 Pro and Debian Linux. It's taken a while but I wanted to develop my own apps and Linux has a free compiler and Windows does not. |
