Post #279,927 by Another Scott 3/29/07 12:22:25 AM Reply	It should, but I haven't checked it carefully. This guy seems to indicate that he had [link\|http://gvriese.blogspot.com/2006/06/computer-woes.html\|Ubuntu running on it]. With a little digging, it should be possible to determine the motherboard and all the details - maybe by downloading the manual for the system from HP. I can't imagine that it uses anything that Kubuntu would have trouble with, but I can't guarantee it of course. HTH. Good luck! Cheers, Scott.
