Linux will run on almost any type of processesor. Running "well" depends what UI is installed and what tasks are being performed.
Technically you case use any computer for a media center. How good it'll run as one vairys. If you're computer is a newer one with a high enough pentium processor, as well as a good video card, it'd make a great media center. The oppisite for the older, and lower edition of the pentium processor and video card.
Pentium 4 1GHz processors can run various operating systems, including Windows XP, Windows 7, and several Linux distributions such as Ubuntu and Fedora. Windows XP is particularly well-suited for this hardware due to its lower resource requirements. For Linux, lightweight versions like Lubuntu or Xubuntu can provide a smoother experience on older hardware. Overall, compatibility will depend on the specific applications and tasks intended for use.
You can. Limewire is cross-platform. If you check their website, you will find downloads for a Linux package as well.
DOS is well-suited for older computers that are not powerful enough to run a modern operating system such as Linux or Windows. If you have a modern PC, DOS programs can be run with DOSBox.
There are version of Intel Pentium one through four as well as Intel Pentium Pro, Intel Pentium D, Intel Pentium M, Pentium (2009), and Pentium Duel Core.
There aren't many good Linux distros that work well on notebook computers. However if Ubuntu is the standout choice if you really want Linux on your LapTop computer.
Not that well........trust me I know from exp
The question is unclear. Assuming you are asking usages of linux, well people use it for personal computing. Most of the companies use linux for servers. A Linux based system is free for anyone to use. A linux system distribution can be used in the same way as windows. Almost any application for windows has an equivalent application available for linux that does the same job. Linux has word processing, picture, sound and video edotors as well as their file format converters. It can be used to play many games, play song, watch videos. Linux is available for almost any personal computer available and almost any other computer in use. Most commercial network routers and firewalls are based on linux.
Yes, for example computers running with OS Linux or freebsd.
yes Apple's Computers (Macs) come with one by Apple called Mac OS X Leopard (Older ones had different names of course) and Linux is a well known, typically free operating system in fact, Linux being open source, a friend and I are planning to create our own soon :D
Click on Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Information.. This will show you all information.. On an apple computer goto the top left Apple menu and select "About this Mac" Linux, well... If you can install Linux you know your hardware and where to look for it.
You will need some operating system on your computer to run LimeWire. LimeWire is available for Linux, Mac OS X, and FreeBSD as well as Windows.
