Perhaps if you told us what is not working and what HP model
ive got opensuse on my computer and got rid of of windows.
im running a hp510n…40gb hd…1ghz celeron d…256k mem
its old and not that great but its good platform to learn off of
right now im having problems installing themes
Good evening everyone.
I am jake, i am 22, and third party vendor for qwest. I have gf of 1year and 8mos and 2 cats, and 3 fish tanks. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment in iowa. I love cellphones, cars and music. I d/l opensuse kde not knowing that is was the harder one of the two choices. I herd about this program threw a customer. I am running it on a old school hp 510n, But im ether building my own computer or getting a mac mini. The reason why i wanted to use linux over xp was that herd its safer. No viruses, no spyware, nothing. I am gonna use this computer mostly for the internet and music. I d/l gimp because i do like to edit my own photos.
I would like to know what programs would work for me that i should check out.
and what else should i know about linux.
Thanks for all your help
jake

Seriously, you’ll get more and better answers to your questions if you write
correctly.
Unless this is some form of fashion/slang, of course. In that case, please
forgive me. I’m getting to old to follow what’s new, sometimes.
Well, at least, you’re using punctuation. I just finished reading the post
of someone who wrote a big chunk (only definition I can come up with) of
text, with no comma’s, no points, no capitals… nothing.
I’m still catching my breath here. 
> and what else should i know about linux.
That it’s fun, that you’re entering a commumunity of weird, mad, funny,
angry, helpfull, obnoxious and usually smart people.

Actually no. They are sleeping on top of the two covered fishtanks because they like the heat. They are not interested in the fish at all.

I think you will find that 256k is not enough memory
256 meg memory. memory is simple to add and relatively cheap.
check this link HowStuffWorks “How to Install RAM”
That fish looks like it has a mean streak no wonder the cats don’t mess with him or is it a her;)
If you did take a look at the list that Snakedriver suggested,then you probably know about amarok. I use it myself & if you use the xine engine it it’ll have a 10 band equalizer.For your interest in cars if you like to download & watch videos may I recommend, if you haven’t found it already the Firefox addon DownloadHelper.
I also welcome you to the world of Opensuse & the knowledgeable,eclectic,& strange members of its forum.
