I assume that's Ubuntu.

No there shouldn't be a problem.

Yes, it is ubuntu 8.04.

How about the video settings? I heard that linux is very particular about the exact specifications of various components. In my case it would be a change from a wide screen LCD monitor to a standard CRT monitor (16:1 to 4:3). Any problems that might crop up? Thanks.

I had Ubuntu 8.04 installation before and had no problem switching displays. From my experience Ubuntu should be able to detect and adjust the display settings but I've seen in forums that there are people who have display problems in Ubuntu. Maybe you can change to a safe resolution (ex.: 800x600) first before changing to the CRT.

just to add, also check your monitor refresh rate.

hi ubuntu experts! we are about to buy a dozen PCs but before we do that, please

have a look at the specs and see if it will run ubuntu 7.04 or higher.

 

these are the CHEAPEST cpu specs we can find because the pcs will just be used for word processing,

spreadsheet, and other mundane office tasks.

 

*processor: sempron 2 ghz (LE-1150) socket am2

*motherboard: elite GF6100PM-MZL AM2/DDR2/PCIE/V/S/LAN

*memory: kingston 1GB ddr2 pc667

 

reactions/suggestions please, TIA :)
