Rstore HP Omnibook XE2 back to Windows 2000 Pro

Dapper Dan
I just installed Suse 9. 1 Professional on this laptop, only to discover there is a huge 2 inch black margin around the desktop image. I have found out there is no fix for this, and the makers of the screen will not support Linux.

New to Linux, wanting PVR and games

nickwordsworth
I want a machine I can use for a PVR and doing the odd bit of website up etc. I have never used linux before, but am told it will be a system that does not crash, as opposed to 98SE which I run now. However, I am keen to be able to run certain games which will require Windows - Age of Empires for example.
