AMD4800 64 dual core. 4GB RAM Sorry to young Billy.G I myself use Ubuntu 8.04 for one year now and I like it very much. I have tried other Linux distributions but Ubuntu is the one I like best. It has a great community to find help and support, it installs easy, it runs very stable: never had any problem with it. Hope this helped. ______ DeMus ID: 58410 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
