linux on compaq

[darkmaze]

has anyone ever tried installing linux on a compaq?

I dont see why it wouldnt work, as long as you meet the system requirements, of course.

It depends on what hardware specs you have. I have sucessfully installed it on a few Compaq's with no problems. The lowest compaq specs I've used so far was:

Compaq 5000US -
Duron 750mhz
256mb RAM
20 Gig HD
CD-ROM
intergrated 4mb nVidia graphics (I think)

Installed Debian, SuSe 10.1, and Ubuntu on it.

Have fun!
