    [SOLVED] Best hardware (build) for linux

    I don't understand your question. Are you new to Linux in general or..? Linux distro's can run on practically anything really.There is always something that will work . Purchasing a machine for one said purpose isn't wise .What distro did you install on your current machine and what exactly...

    Laptop Hard Drive

    I can't really find anything regarding the warranty of hp machines for the last few years but I did find that .That's on the Hp site and it seems like the hardware is still covered . My understanding is this and I'm pretty sure I can be wrong , the operating systems installed on the laptops you...

    Laptop Hard Drive

    Correct but with the os there are a few ways around it .You just need to have the windows os installed so you can always install it before you take it in to the store . However with the casing it's different, there are screws which contain Loctite so if at anytime you remove a screw the...

    Laptop Hard Drive

    Oh wait I confused myself . For a 2nd I thought you wanted to run two os's on two drives. If you looking at buying hard drives remember if it sounds too good to be true it probably sucks .I would personally stay away from those Samsung and entry level Seagate drives .If you want something fast...

    hmm I don't think you are allowed to resize an active partition .I'm assuming you have a dual boot , correct? You windows os will have the settings greyed out and your Linux distro won't allow you to use gparted because it's an active partition . Steps 1) Visit Gparted website . Remember you...

    Have heard Linux is the way to go

    I'm going type my ass off ,and hoping you read the entire thing lol. If you are " new " to Linux and do not want to mess around in the terminal I would have suggested Mint .The default desktop looks somewhat like windows 7 and sadly I do not like it .Also I find that it doesn't work properly on...
