Some versions of this comp have an Invidia card that you can actually install! It should be good enough to run WOW on low video settings. We are not supposed to comment on distro choices here. However, you might consider going to the Wine site, to the Download page, and see if you can find something that will get you a later dev release. If that doesn't work try the Puppy support list/forums. If that doesn't work you may have to change distro. You did not say, but do you dual boot (Windows or Linux)? You also did not say what the error message was. Jim -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
