I have an older laptop, a Compaq Armada m700, and a couple years ago it stopped running the desktop.In other words, it could start and run, but it would get to the desktop or somewhere in the booting phase and just stop working. I don't have an install disk for it, so I can't wipe it.
Well, since then I have gotten a WinXP laptop and am using that for Games and such, but I believe that it is a software problem and not a hardware issue. So, I thought maybe I could install a version of Linux on it to give it new life.
I guess what I'm really asking is Can I install Linux on the laptop and use it instead of 98, even though 98 doesn't work? (Kind of install Linux from a disk like an install disk)
