#1. I am a single mom, and full time college student on a very limited budget, the
fact that I was able to swing a new system at all when my old p100 bit the dust is no
small miracle.
#2. Wanting to give linux a whirl I wanted to purchase a box that would be linux
compliant. I went to pricewatch.com and purchased from their linux systems section
this box that is very non linux compliant.
3. I am simply trying to make the best of a bad situation without spending any more
money.
I'd like a solution to my issue, or a truthful information that it can't be resolved,
not advice that I can't afford to take.
Thanks :-)
