I have Linux running on an HP Pavilion. But I'm using it as a server; I don't know what video card is in it (slink's SuperProbe couldn't tell), so I only use the VGA16 X server, and usually I just use the console, or telnet/rsh in. It's supposed to have a modem, but I think it's a WinModem, so I just used my external modem with it. Haven't seriously attempted to get sound to work on it.... But the parts of it I *do* use work just fine -- the serial port (external modem), the hard drive, the CPU, and the network card I put in it.... -- Greg Wooledge | Distributed.NET http://www.distributed.net/ wooledge@kellnet.com | because a CPU is a terrible thing to waste. http://www.kellnet.com/wooledge/ |
