Question Install Distro Linux in PC on chipset x5...is possible??


Hi all, I have a friend who has a PC with x5 chipset and would like to mount a Linux distribution.

That you know you can install Linux on a PC with this chipset?

I hope I'm not mistaken where to post the question.

Thank you for all

Seems like it is just an Intel Atom, so you shouldn't have any problems installing to it.
You can check by making a 'live' pendrive & booting from it, before installing.
I suggest trying AntiX - http://antix.mepis.org/index.php?title=Main_Page

Agreed. just try a live distro, you can see pretty quick if your graphics, network, and other hardware are working.

Besides I've never had a computer that wouldn't run at least some form of Linux....
