Re: LINUX op
Download Universal USB Installer from the link I provided, launch it, follow the instructions. (Choose Linux Mint 14 Cinnamon from the list, select the letter of the USB drive from the list, etc.. hit next, wait.. done.)
Hope that helps,
Shawn

Re: LINUX op
That tells me your CPU, not GPU (Graphics Card)... The only reason I ask is that you'll have to install additional drivers (VERY EASY) if you have an Nvidia or ATI/AMD Graphics Card in your computer, otherwise you're fine, and either version of Mint will work great.. use MATE if you have an Nvidia or ATI/AMD GPU...Leave a comment:

Re: Optimising 512MB of RAM
You might get away with more running Linux on it, but you'll have to do a bit of digging to configure xinput to use the touchscreen properly; I can assure you this though, a light linux distro will go WAAAY further than Windows will in doing more with less. There ARE things you can do to XP to make it lighter.. might want to dig around "those" places for an "XP Distro" called MicroXP, that is.. if you HAVE to have Windows..
Just my .02,

Re: LINUX op
Linux Mint 14 should have everything you need in it.. It'll open Adobe-made PDF's, any kind of MS Office Doc, etc.. If you need java search for openjdk. Ubuntu 8.10 is VERY old and unsupported now, Mint 14 is Ubuntu + the things needed to make it a generally usable desktop.. I suggest the Cinnamon version, MATE if you have graphics issues.
(Sorry guys been kinda busy, but felt I should chime in..)
