[olug] Compaq Presario 5080US

[Kelly Williams]

I have that same computer but with a AMD Duron. I runs better with linux
than it does with any windozs. My uncle gave it to me and I have me using it
for my linux box and it runs great. But in mine 768 mb of ram with fc6.. you
shouldn't have any problems getting it to work with ubuntu.

When it was new it might have been trouble, but these days the biggest
problem you will have is with the winmodem.
