Do store bought PCs suck, or just Compaq, other?

Maybe it's God

Anyways, I only had a chance to d/l and burn and attempt one more, I tried Belenix. No cigar. I would have also tried HomerPE or whatever that is called, but it wouldn't surprise me if that worked. Nor would it be of much use in this case. So, MS and Comqrap win this round. Awesome bastards. They should do this kind of thing more often, we don't need weird non-windows on our shiny PCs. Belenix seems pretty good though, apart from all this crap Compaqs thing. The only thing I don't like is that molestor looking sun face.

H_TeXMeX_H:
It may be compaq:

or it might just be a rare case of hardware incompatibility.

But if it is incompatibility then why does the UNIX kernel (from Belenix) still not boot ? Probably BSD won't boot either. Why can only Window$ boot ?

GenuineAdvantage:
Why? Hmm, who knows. It's just a fluke (those little parasitic creatures). Don't ask Comqrap or Microunit though. They didn't see nothin, they don't know nothin. Since I have no money it will have to wait but that PC will be replaced soon just for spite. I was already never going to buy anything with an integreated video card. Now I will add anything with "Compaq" written on it to that.

Orethrius:
Trade it in on an HP dv8000.  Just be sure to get the nVidia card.  ;)
