I have an HP Pavilion a1203w
1.8Ghz AMD Semperon Processor
512Mb ram
I'm currently running Beatrix Linux 2005 on the hard drive, as that's the only Linux distro that I have been successful at running for more than a week on this HP. Beatrix is no longer viable, it is outdated and not upgradeable as Watsky is out of business. I don't use WNDOZ, becuz I don't like EULA's that don't give me the right to own something I just paid for .......
I would appreciate any help that I can get. jap
