Sorry for the delayed response. This is a new Compaq laptop, Turin64, ATI video. I tried Suse,Mandriva, Linspire,Ubuntu, Kubuntu. All resulted in unique problems. Linspire failed miserably. (x86 versions not 64bit) I prefer to load Kubuntu if I can. I don't know if the store will take the machine back . Kubuntu - /etc/init.d/kdm restart responded with Stopping KDM, Starting KDM and back to text mode. On reboot,it started to 'hang' at the 'checking battery status' step. Had to hit power off/on.
Should I just buy old/used hardware?
