Hi all,
Hope I'm not intruding. I have just joined the group because I'm looking
for help/assistance/support/etc.
I've been a PC user on Microsoft software for 12 years and I'm wanting to
make the switch to linux on my home pc.
I have an old compaq presario and need to know if it will linux can be run
on it. I'm also used to using a variety of MS applications that I'm going
to be looking for replacements for after switching over. I need to continue
to have a dialup connection to the internet, email, browser, ftp, etc.
Here's the specifics on the box
Pentium 200mhz
64 meg RAM
6 gig HD
16X cdrom
3-1/2" floppy
33.6k data/fax modem
S3 Virge graphics card
ethernet card
some kind of proprietary sound card
UBL speakers
there's also a 17 inch presario monitor
I'll be looking for replacements for MS Office software (word, excel and a
relationship database), Publisher (page layout), Paint Shop Pro (graphics),
etc.
Any help you can offer, resources on the web to read up, etc. are greatly
appreciated.
