Linux can run with virtually any hardware configuration, but it is best to check the system requirements for your Linux distro.

The Centrino Duo processor made by the company Intel has two cores. It is implied in the name "Duo" , which can be translated as "two", "double" or "twice".
The main difference between the Intel Core 2 Duo blue stickers and the Intel Centrino Core 2 Duo pink stinkers is the wireless networking features. The Centrino offers more networking features than the non-Centrino.
Intel Centrino Duo is used to refer to a package in laptops consisting of an Intel Core series processor, Intel Chipset, and Intel Wireless card.
There is little difference between Core 2 Core and Centrino Duo. Both are dual core processors but Core 2 is slightly better. Centrino is part of the Intel mobile platform.
Centrino = better perfomance, less heat and less power consumption. The centrino is based on the newer Intel Conroe architecture.
Yes, but much slower than it would run Windows XP or a Linux distribution. Make sure your computer has at least 1GB of RAM to run Vista decently.
unless you have the highest end Pentium m processor, (its at 780 i think, 2.26ghz) the middle line duo is better, even if its rating, in gigahertz is less. after all, its just a number, in the real world when you and i run applications, usually more than one at a time, duo can multitask more efficiently.
Dual Core is better as it has two processing cores, Higher Clock Speed, Bigger FSB, Bigger Cache and it is built for multitasking but it does not mean that Centrino is bad as it is designed for NOTEBOOK Computer and does not give lower performance. Guy above me is wrong He asked about Centrino duo which IS a dual core. The Centrino platform is going to be a LOT faster than the Pentium Dual-Core. Centrino means you're getting a Core 2 Duo processor, Intel chipset, and Intel wireless. Core 2 Duo processors are much faster than Pentium Dual Core processors. These 2 guys above me are wrong... na just kidding i just really wanted to say that :D
The Centrino 2 is a microprocessor manufactured by Intel. Designed for use in notebook computers, this processor was based on the Core 2 Duo architecture. It is now outdated.
yes, but get profesionals to do it,
The difference between a Pentium and a Centrino is that the Pentium and Core Duo, etc, are configured with the Centrino containing less capability and being marketed at a lower cost point than the Pentium branded product.
