[pchelpers] Re: Watchtower On Linux

That may be a hard order to fill.
You do not have an AGP slot just two PCI's, which both may be in use.
I find the WinFast brand although low in cost ($50) works very well but 
finding a PCI one.
I have been able to get Ubuntu onto Comquack's using the onboard Video.
And they use the same Intel video chipset as the one in your HP.
By chance did you ever get an error message or did it just hang?
Looking over the specs since it is a newer HP it should should install. 
I can't see anything in the hardware that would prevent it. The only 
thing I can even think it may be is the recovery partition on the drive.
I have had issues with recovery partitions and Linux the boot manager 
hates it.
So I am now stumped.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
