That’s just wrong. I just got a visual of flashing my motherboard BIOS.

Expose yourself to computers.

I just received a used Thinkpad A30. I think the CPU is 1 Ghz and 256 megs of RAM. What flavor of Linux would you suggest I install?

Ubuntu 9.04, PCLinuxOS 2009, or Mandriva 2009. Puppy is fun too, but the others are complete Windows replacements.

I've been trying all three of those as virtual machines, and my experience has been very positive; also, I have enjoyed experimenting with Fedora 11's beta.
