Since so many people are harping on them, I got a
Compaq Presario 7478 with an extra 64MB (tot 128)
and a Voodoo3 for < 1100USD.
AMD K-6 II 500
30 Gig HD
CD-RW
DVD-R
floppy
2 ISA, 4 PCI, 1 AGP, 2 USB
decent keyboard
Debian noticed both CD-RW and DVD-R right away.
Red Hat only noticed one of them.
d-man, you might want to set your wrapmargin a bit shorter.
anyway, i just installed potato on my girlfriend's perario. it's a
piece-of-shit computer that i wouldn't force feed to my dog, but it's not SO
evil that bios flashes when it sees linux. i find that VERY hard to
believe; almost absurd.

Inform Compaq that M$ isn't the only OS vendor. :-)
I have a Compaq Presario (don't get one, it's better to build your own comp from
parts) that came with Windows 98 preinstalled. I added RedHat to it (first 5.2
- didn't like my video card, then 6.1 , now 7.0 ). I am planning on installing
Deb
I had Red Hat installed on my Presario as a dual boot system. It had its own
hard drive, and worked somewhat, but eventually it flashed the BIOS and the
whole motherboard had to be replaced.
I was told (tersely) by Compaq Support that Presarios are NOT GOOD with Linux.
But, I WANT LINUX. Name
