Yes, the last time I tried to install it was still an issue.  I got the
machine to support an ESL school that wanted to load a particular school
administrative program on it that runs on Ubuntu Server. I had to
provide them with other hardware and kept this machine to try to work on
later.  Only Red Hat based systems (Fedora, Centos, and Scientific
Linux) will load up and even they have trouble (every reboot involves
several attempts at loading Grub before it finally "takes"). 

I hoped that future versions of Ubuntu would work, but no luck (havent
tried the latest though, have been using Centos.  I finally got
frustrated and got a replacement motherboard and CPU to put in the box
the next time I have enough undistracted spare time.

I was disappointed by the lack of willingness to respond that I got from
HP when I told them I had blown away Windows and installed Linux. They
said it voided the warranty and they would not help.  I used to work on
systems development and we had HP people in the shop (a development lab
using Windows, Solaris, and Linux), they were very responsive then and
had no problem with Linux. They said they used Linux at corporate for
their version control system.  Oh well.

Anyway, thanks for your response.

Jerry
