    HP Compaq Presario 2100 Laptop (2145CA)

    Athlon XP-M 2400+ 2 GHz (benched at 2100) 
    1GB  RAM  PC2100 DDR SDRAM
    160 GB HDD
    1400 x 1050 ( SXGA+ SCREEN )
    AGP 4x - ATI Mobility Radeon
    CD-RW / DVD-ROM combo
    802.11b Wireless Controller Mini PCI

    LXLE 14.xx 32bit
    Installed easily but for some reason cannot run chromium, older 32bit chrome, Opera 
    or Opera developer. All install perfectly but then refuse to run, no error messages, NOTHING

    Reinstalled, updated everything, rebooted many times, try again, FAIL
    SEAMONKEY works fine.

    Wiped and installed LXLE 12.xx previous version,
    Same, repeat, fail

    Even tried a wipe and install of a different lubuntu build, TINY LINUX 3.0
    Same problem...

    Something about Lubuntu and this machine does not like these browsers.
    Some previous forum posts on other lubuntu forums have 
    speculated that this might have something to do with the flash 
     built into these browsers. Others discount this.

    .
    Otherwise works great if you do't mind SEAMONKEY.
    I can't get Calibre to install either, but then who can?

    Pentium E, with a 3.5 floppy drive, DVD drive.
    2G ram. 2.0 mhz processor speed
    Could not install with the DVD for some reason. Stubborn. Older model.
    Could not boot with USB, so had to use PLOP.
    Made a bootable USB with "multibootusb" app.  FAIL with Plop.
    Made a bootable USB from a CD in Startup Disk Creator.  Success at last.

    Note:  I have not had many good experiences with multibootusb to date.

    Posh 32 bit

    About the above.   I posted too soon.
    The computer told me posh had installed correctly.  I removed the installation media. Took out PLOP.  and now all I get is a black screen.
    PLOP will not launch the HDD either.
    Back to the drawing board.  Any ideas?

    One more post, to add to the two above.
    Another installation, this time creating my own partitions prior to installation in gparted, from the live lxle installation medium: 
    Success at last.
    The black screen appeared for quite a while.  But when I came back, lxle found its way to boot.  Takes longer on this box than others to boot.

    Here's a fun one, picked this puppy up for $149 on Woot to replace my 10in Galaxy II tab, with the first task being wipe the hard drive and install Linux (LXLE was my second choice, couldn't figure out how to install the first so..). Haven't used it much yet, but haven't run into any issues.

    Specs:
    Lenovo N22
    Intel Celeron N3050
    64G Samsung EMMC
    4G RAM
    Video ?

    Works on:

    #1 Model (Acer Travelmate 4000 series laptop)
    #2 Processor type (Intel Centrino Mobile @ 1.60 GHZ
    #3 Storage (60 GB HD)
    #4 Ram (1280 MB)
    #5 Video card (Integrated Nvidea??)

    This
    processor does have PAE extension, but does not display it. Therefore
    you have to force the processor into this mode of using it by adding forcepae -- forcepae on the commandline when installing

    See my post on this:
