Try updating to Dapper Drake 6.06 Beta 2.  If you already have Breezy Badger 5.10 installed (not Warty or Hoary!  If you're running one of those, you must follow the following path:  Warty --> Hoary --> Breezy --> Dapper), open up a terminal window and type:\n\nsudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list\n\nChange all instances of breezy to dapper.  Press CTRL+O and press enter to save.  Then press CTRL+X to exit nano.  Back at the terminal prompt, type:\n\nsudo apt-get update\n\nfollowed by:\n\nsudo apt-get dist-upgrade\n\nPress Y to accept the changes.  When you're done, you'll be using the latest beta version of Ubuntu!\n\nIf you do not have Ubuntu currently installed, get the ISO from http://releases.ubuntu.com/6.06/.\n\nBEWARE:  While I have found Dapper to be very stable ever since Flight 5, it is still pre-release software!  Use at your own risk!\n\nEDIT (in response to answers below):\n\n@drlzrdmn: I believe the versioning scheme for the kernel has changed.  The kernel included with Dapper is a stable kernel (both in theory and in reality :-D).\n\n@krishQ As I said originally, Dapper is a BETA version of Ubuntu.  You won't be able to get it with ShipIt (the free CDs amiled to you) until at least June 1, when Dapper is officially released.  However, since he is talking about a hardware issue, he'll probably want to update to Dapper now instead of later.\n\nP.S. - don't ask to be picked for best answer.  That's childish.  The point of Yahoo! Answers is to help others out with your knowledge, not to rack up points.

Try Red Hat Linux or you could visit the link bellow.

CPU Requirements\n\nMinimum: Pentium-class — Fedora Core 4 the latest version of Linux  is optimized for Pentium 4 CPUs, but also supports earlier CPUs (such as Pentium, Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III, and including AMD and VIA variants). This approach has been taken because Pentium-class optimizations actually result in reduced performance for non-Pentium-class processors, and Pentium 4 scheduling is sufficiently different (while making up the bulk of today's processors) to warrant this change. \n\nAMD64 processors (both Athlon64 and Opteron)\n\nIntel processors with Intel® Extended Memory 64 Technology (Intel® EM64T)\n\nHard Disk Space Requirements\n\nfor 32-bit x86 systems: \nCustom Installation (Minimal): 620MB\nServer: 1.1GB\nPersonal Desktop: 2.3GB\nWorkstation: 3.0GB\nCustom Installation (Everything): 6.9GB\n\nfor 64-bit x86_64 systems: \nCustom Installation (Minimal): 900MB\nServer: 1.5GB\nPersonal Desktop: 2.7GB\nWorkstation: 3.4GB\nCustom Installation: (Everything) 7.5GB\n\nMemory Requirements\n\nfor 32-bit x86 systems: \nMinimum for text-mode: 64MB\nMinimum for graphical: 192MB\nRecommended for graphical: 256MB\n\nfor 64-bit x86_64 systems: \nMinimum for text-mode: 128MB\nMinimum for graphical: 256MB\nRecommended for graphical: 512MB\n\n\nHowever the best configuration would be \nMotherboard: P4 - Intel chipset (version: whatever available latest). Always go for an Intel Orignal Chipset to get the maximum performance. WITH TWO IDE and possibly 4 SATA ports.\n\nCPU: 3ghz or more.\n\nRAM: Atleast 1GB. If possible get 2 strips of 512MB each (Again to improve performance on P4 M-Boards)\n\nHarddisk: Atleast 120 GB or more (SATA for faster access)\n\nMonitor: Atleast 17" Samsung recommended\n\nRest all is fancy and depends on your choice. Such as Keyboard, Mouse (Optical Recommended), Cabinet (Black with atleast 2 fans)

Currently, you shouldn't be really worrying about the motherboard, but the Graphics Card and Sound Card\n\nI installed 1 year old Linux on my new AMD-X2 machine and had no problems with motherboard compatibility...\n\n________________________\n\nThe hardware being onboard or seperate will not make a major difference if hte drivers for them are not supported by Linux, so, if the drivers are available, then, think of doing two things:\n- Give Kernel.org a visit and download hte latest/ionstall the leatest release\nhttp://www.kernel.org/\n- Install the Hardware drivers\n\nNew Kernel has backward support to old hardware\n\nIf the Hardware device is a couple of years old and the version of Linux used is a recent version, then don't think that you should really worry about compatibility...\n\nRegarding whether the drivers ar esupported by Debian or Not, check with the motherboard vendor (maybe check their site and download the appropriate version if necessary)

Why don't you try the live on cd versions of most of these distributions, before you decide on the version you install? Advantages are, you'll be able to select the one whose look and feel suit you best, and you will also know your hardware compatibility with each distribution before you actually install it. \nI've been meddling around with the live on cd versions of Mandriva, Linspire and PCLinuxOS. You might even think about ease of installation, in which case you could visit www.slynux.org, or try PCLinuxOS. \nI personally am planning on installing Mandriva or Ubuntu. Will be giving it a bit more thought, though!\nA list of distributions is available at :\nhttp://www.linux.org

Try doing a google search for the different linux versions. Once you know which one you like, do the google search:\n\n"download [linux version]"\n\nThat should at least bring you to somewhere that can help.\n\nI downloaded the Fedora Project and Mandrake (Mandrix) Linux. Got Mandrake 10 and WinXP installed as dual boot.

Just go to the web sight of each hardware device you have and get the latest drivers

I need a bit a explanation. which version of Linux are you using .

Upgrade the Kernel to latest one .  this iwll resolve your issue incase its not hardware related issue.\n\ncan you just send me dmesg command output copied to me \nat kshounish@yahoo.com let me see if any hardware issues has comeup or else kernel upgradation to latest 2.6 shoudl work excellent.\n\n\nincase you need to  know how to do kernel upgradation mail me at kshounish@yahoo.com

This is the ATI Linux Driver page in their knowledgebase\n\nhttps://support.ati.com/ics/support/KBAnswer.asp?questionID=1176

This is one variant of Linux I have not used, but my first thought is.\n\nIf the driver is not available directly for this flavor, does the system include all of the components necessary to compile and link the driver into the system in the version that you have.\n\nLooking at the ISO size on www.puppylinux.com, I am not sure what components are included in the reduced size versions.\n\n1) Do they make a driver for this device?\n2) If not can you take source from another Linux and compile it?\n3) If you have to compile it, what system calls (if any) must be modified from mainstream Linux?\n\nQNX (http://www.qnx.com) was the first micro kernel based UNIX, the issue about drivers being compiled existed, due to the differences required whole re-writes.\n\nSend tech at puppy a email if you have to compile, may save you MANY headaches.\n\nHope this helps.

If your system can connect to the Internet, I would suggest you try installing from the net. Almost all Linux distros nowadays are too big for floppies.

Automatically check to see if you need an update :\n\nhttp://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=228&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=439488&lang=en

go to the device manager and expand USB-Controller. If there is an entry "USB 2.0-Root-Hub" then it's USB 2.0, otherwise it's 1.1 or 1.0\n\nFor the motherboard look in the User's Manual. If you haven't one, there is an excellent system analysis program called Everest from Lavalys and it's free (Home Edition).

Well, I would suggest Ubuntu, which you can download for free or order a free CD at www.ubuntulinux.com \n\nIt is very user friendly, has a few games, and has GAIM, which is similar to MSN Messnger (but better). \n\nAnother alternative is Kubuntu, which is really nice.\n\nOh, and don't listen to people who say you're hardware won't work with Linux... the majority of generic computers do. If you have bleeding-edge hard-core gaming setups you might have problems, but I haven't had a problem on the several different systems I've used Linux on. Just go for it, you shouldn't regret it!!

okey!\n\nhere is a very nice app that lets you execute some window files/executables from within linux.\nhttp://www.winehq.com/site/download\nYou'll probably also find it inside the linux CD.\nBut first did you mount the windows file systems to linux?\nIf not install the NTFS kernel module for your kernel:\nPls search the internet for the following:\nkernel-module-ntfs RPM packages for Red Hat/Fedora\n\n*If you want to find out what kernel you're running, you can open a terminal and type:\nuname -r\n\nnow after installing the module try to mount your NTFS partition/Windows Patrtition.\nIf you see any prob then do:\nman mount\n\ncheers
