    @poorguy, I have the HDMI plugged into its port on the monitor and change monitor inputs. I can change the keyboard and mouse. I might be a compatibility issue, I just want to put this out there and let the community help if it can before I buy a different one.

    theme question.

    Thank you both, for your input. I just seen it and was like "that's cool" I want something like that on my linux. 2008 to 2013 probably will not be able to find and install it. I know the name now so I can search. Thanks again.

    I've bricked my lenovo laptop -- any ideas?

    Sounds like the bios still sees something on the HDD. Can You possibly Run an Ubuntu or linux mint live CD and use Gparted to format the HDD. Then attempt the install again. it should boot up, just ensure secure boot is off. Been seeing stuff like this at work lately.

    Slow system

    If you are using a 32bit windows, max allowed memory is 4GB. A 64bit windows is pretty much set by the motherboard. Memory slots are not set to a max. If you want to put all 8GB per say in a single slot, then dual channel ability is essentially gone. It would be best to get 2 x 4GB sticks as...
