Very nice.

Puppy Linux is also a quick install. I can do a frugal install in 5 minutes or less.

What did you use to install Slacko to your USB stick? Unetbootin? other? Puppy Linux has a universal installer, but I prefer to do a manual frugal install.

I've done a frugal install of Slacko to...

My main computer is a HP P6000 series Pavilion desktop. I bought it used a few months ago. I think that this computer came out in 2009.

Its specs: Athlon X 2 2.5 GHz, 8 GB RAM, 750 GB HD, nVidia...

I use a Logitech MX3200 wireless keyboard/mouse combo. I don't do a lot of typing, mostly mousing. The typing experience is OK, but sometimes, I have to hit the key a little harder to get it to...

Yeah, baby, yeah, 750 GB of RAM would be awesome for my evil computer.

AMD Athlon X 2 2.5 Ghz
8 GB PC2-6400 DDR2 RAM
nVidia GeForce 9100s
750 GB HD 7200 RPM

It was a typo, dude. I meant 750 GB HD.

I'm another who likes Vista. I have an HP desktop P6000 series with an AMD Athlon X 2 2.5 GHz CPU, 8 GB of RAM, GeForce 9100, 750 GB HD running Vista Home Premium 64 Bit SP1. I have a dual monitor...

I've been very interested in the Chromebooks and loading Ubuntu on them. I haven't tried either the Samsung or Acer. If I were to get the Acer, I'd like to upgrade the HD to a SSD.

I'm sure...

Puppy Linux is another possibility. Download the latest .iso, burn to a CD, and boot the puppy linux CD. You can mount the Windows partition, also mount a USB drive, and copy your windows files to...

Make sure the HD is mounted before attempting to copy over the files. Just because the HD is plugged in, it is not necessary mounted. To do so, you can do it in a couple of different ways. Once the...

Have you tried Grub4Dos? On some of the later Puppies in the 5 series, it was included in the iso, and easier to set up than Grub.

I second Puppy Linux. There is someone who created a custom puppy which has Dropbox already installed.

Download ImgBurn from here: http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download

and use this to burn your iso. I use this program to burn all my iso's, from Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Puppy Linux.

Then, put...

You guys are geniuses. I did the alternate install, and it successfully installed. However, the weird thing is that although I have WinXP on my first partition, I don't get the Grub2 menu that...

I have an HPa800n with Athlon XP 3200+, 1.5 GB RAM, PNY or nVidia GeForce 7600GS, 320 GB RAM that has been partitioned in 4 (WinXP NTFS, 50 GB with Puppy Linux (formated in ext 4), 3 GB swap, and the...

Thank you. I may give it a try soon.

Thanks for the advice. I haven't been on the forums for some time. I have Ubuntu 10.04 running on my Dell Vostro Tower with a USB wireless adapter. I have an old HP a800n running Puppy Linux great. I...

I'm new to Linux, and have the same laptop. I haven't yet attempted to get my wireless working, but have been researching on the net. So far, I looked at...

Hi,

This is my first post, and I'm new to Linux. I'm trying to breathe new life into an old laptop, Compaq Presario 2195us. It's running pretty well after a Windows XP clean install, but I've been...
