Is Linux more forgiving when it comes to this glitch? I understand that Linux, or I should say some Linux, distributions work with OpenOffice so I am wondering which distributions work this laptop.<\/p>\n<p>Another possibility would be if there is a recommended Virtual Machine that will allow me to run a Linux Distro on a different computer running at 2.4Ghz with 4GB memory on a Windows XP SP3 machine for a workaround to have one less computer on.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know what it is about Linux distros and why I haven&#8217;t been able to load one successfully onto one of my old computers hard drives. I can usually get live distros to load, but to get distros to load onto a hard drive why do I need to know commands, it should just load automatically, seriously!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"iawp_total_views":21},"question-category":[58],"question_tags":[],"class_list":["post-12111","question","type-question","status-publish","hentry","question-category-linux"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question\/12111","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/question"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12111"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12111"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"question-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question-category?post=12111"},{"taxonomy":"question_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/computing.net\/answers\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/question_tags?post=12111"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
