I have never owned a Packard Bell, MUCH smarter then that. And by the
way In the late 40's I worked in a Radio Repair Shop and Packard Bells
were CRAP them.
I did have a HP pavilion but never tried LINUX on it.
But I do have two Vectra VL's(One desktop and one Tower) that I could
try,  SOMEDAY.
Althouhg I may try the 3 CD set of Mandrake 10.0 that I have.
BUT realisticly it is WAY down on my Priority List!!  :-)
