Hi!
I have a compaq presario 1200. It runs linux fine. There are drivers for =
the modem, and sound. If you want sound drivers though, you will have to =
compile the 2.4 kernel found at ftp.kernel.org as the drivers for that =
sound card are not avalible in previous kernels. If you want a link to =
the modem driver, ask and you shall recieve.
Good luck!=20

Hi all!
=20
The first thing I want to do is be sure the address I have put in my =
address book is right.
=20
The second is to ask a series of questions.
=20
I have a Compaq presario computer and wonder if I can have a =
reasonable expectation that Linux in any flavor will work on it.
=20
If it does not, are there any particular vendors or machines that are =
known to work well?
=20
Finally, what are P. C. M. C. I A. boards? I derive from context that =
they may be NIC cards or have something to do with laptop computers.
=20
Thanks much and enjoy!
Bruce
