Yo dude, you really must give a bit more info. Just saying "will computer xyz work?" doesn't tell us much. I did a Google search and can't find much info about this particular HP machine (lots on the 502 though). Generally speaking any x86 based computer will work with Linux (as will other platforms, but since you asked about a PC, I'll keep the answer to that). I have Linux installed and working fine on an AMD386sx25, on an IntelP75, and on an AMD 1GHz Athalon. I am guessing that since the HP Pavilion 503 is new enough to have a Celeron processor that it will work fine. If it has AC97 sound, you may run into some issues getting that to work (it is possible, but not out of the box easy). If it has a Winmodem, that can also cause some difficulty (but it usually can be made to work). Maybe with some specs for the system you are looking at buying you will get a better answer. You can also go look up the specific hardware pieces in the SuSE Hardware database: http://hardwaredb.suse.de/?LANG=en_UK C. On Sunday 29 September 2002 16:44, N1UAN Bob wrote:
