  1. Good news, Ubuntu LTS is now running on the Compaq Presario, but I had to remove Windows Vista (doesn't really bother me though). I would have prefered to have it dual-boot, but that wouldn't work because it kept hitting a size allocation error. Bad news, still running a single channel of 512MB RAM, which is very slow for those of you who don't know. I'll be getting a pair of 2GB RAM sticks sometime in the next month or two, and we'll see where it goes from there.

      Congrats, glad to hear someone is learning some stuff, and remember to stick with the ddr2 ram.

  2. Whale. I'm a bit excited. I've had my hands on an old Compaq Presario v3500, and it hasn't worked for quite a while. However, it hasn't worked for some reason. But, yesterday, when taking tinkering with it, I took out a RAM card and it started up properly. So, I plan on putting a little bit of money into it and getting new RAM cards for it (it only accepts DDR2 unfortunately, so it is definitely a shitty tower), and installing a Linux-based OS (even though I have no idea how to work Linux, but it's never too late to learn). I already have a Ubuntu OS on a flash drive that I'm gonna test today, Wish me luck.

      It's always good to learn linux. I feel someday in the future linux will be the go to OS instead of windows.
