Computer Help Needed...

Mint may not work real good on a 10 year old PC or laptop. Maybe Puppy Linux, it requires a lot less horsepower to work. Desktop Dyno 2000 is in a link I posted (guess MRL's HP thread) , free download with a few profiles in it already..as long as you are a Ford or Chevy clone.

Actually Linux is pretty good at "self adjusting" I've got it on a couple of older laptops, one is dual boot XP/ Linux Mint. I use the XP for my Holley EFI program, and only have Linux on it for the occasional times I want to download files.

The cool thing about dual boot Linux/ Winhozed is that the Linux system, which is might - as - well - be immune to viruses, can "see" the Windows partition. So you can get online, download files, and save them in the Windoze partition.

Hell, the Windows install on that thing will never see the internet!! I don't have, or need, any virus protection of any kind.
