I mentioned this in the "Will U buy Vista?" thread thinking it was probably not a big problem but, since then I've spent considerable time D/L'ing Fedora Core 4 and beta Core 5, retrying Debian and Ubuntu and even borrowed a friends copy of Mandriva..........NOTHING, no Linux O/S will install properly on this system! It usually comes up with a Video Device error, but changing settings/cards does nothing. Other installs (Mandriva, older builds) just flat fail.
Come on Linux Guru's, I know you're here and know some of you MUST have a clue or seen this before......what is the hang up?
