Computers & Internet - 5 August 2006

I have an old computer that has had the backup partition wiped, and it did not come with a restore disk.

What operating system would you recommend that does not cost anything? How about Linux and what versions are the best? Can you provide links?

I would like a version that works well with my existing windows software and drivers for my hardware. The computer is a Compaq, and it is 1.6Ghz, all the normal hardware from that time period.

I'm new to ebay and am not sure if it's OK to give a buyer my contact info, so he can forward it to the bank. So, he can send a money order.

i have a mobo which borrows 32mb from ram to run its onboard graphics,however i have set the graphics to agp in bios and this has disabled the onboard graphics
the problem is the memory is still being stripped of 32mb even though i am not usig the onboard video,i have gone into bios and manged to decrease the amount of borrowed memory to 8mb,but this still gets taken off the system memory i.e 512 mb installed(504mb appears in system properties)
question.....have i missed a function in bios or windows that will let me sort this problem out,if i cant change it ,i will just carry on ,its only 8mb,but it bugs me.,like when a program informs me i dont have enough memory,as it needs 512mb,although in theory i have it,..................onboard graphics.....ahh,h,h,h,h,h,h,h,h
thanks

I have a desktop(cable modem) and a wireless laptop, already setup and sharing a printer, however, I forgot how the "geeksquad agent" advised me to print a document from my laptop to the shared printer. The printer is connected to a desktop. Also do i need the desktop online to print?
