Welcome To Linux Haven...

First off let me state that Linux is NOT Unix...Linux was created by Linus Torvolds and is based on the unix code....Ok with that out of the way,lets get started shall we.

As of this post i am running Mandriva 2006 on my laptop and Ubuntu(in server mode) on my Compaq which i have made into a file server at the moment.for those of you that have any experience with the EP/ES series of Compaqs know that they can be a pain in the ass to strip down to bare bones and still run,for instance there is no option in the bios to turn off the Halt on all errors deal(...i.e. if there is no keyboard or video card it will halt and not allow you to boot up normally)...i have sorta made a workaround to the keyboard issue,i basically tore apart an old keyboard and just used the PCB and the plug...it seems to work ok,as far as the video card.i will just have to admit defeat and leave it in there lol.
