I run Ubuntu 10.4 on this machine and then use persistent pendrive installation on other machines. Usually those are Linux Mint including a pendrive with the 64 bit version install for my 4 core AMD machine. Even on a USB stick it zips. Only problem was my old USB wifi I'm using on that machine just stopped working on that machine so mistakenly got a Belkin one that Linux didn't see so automatically and required some tricks to get it working. And it's hard even at Fry's to find an inexpensive b/g one that Linux sees. They're all selling b/g/n ones because of the higher profit. As it was all networking has stopped on that pendrive including ethernet and I'm not going to spend hours trying to figure that out and reinstall Linux Mint to that USB drive. This machine is only a 2 Ghz P4 which I want to replace with another 64-bit 4 core which I'll build from scratch rather than pay the Microsoft tax.
