A. Im running Ubuntu on my old Compaq 1200 notebook 300mb RAM, 500mhz processor, It actually runs pretty good, Im sure your P3 is running at least 1.1ghz so I think Ubuntu is the best OS for you also seeing as Ubuntu has the most drivers of anything built in, you shouldn't have problems with this distro
How Can I Remotely Access & Interact with a Computer Over the Internet?
Q. I am looking for a method to connect to another computer remotely over a broadband connection for my consulting business so I can diagnose & correct problems without needing to be on-site. I have a few requirements:
1.) The method must be secure.
It can be secure either by a form of password, encryption, or by having the user remove the software from their computer when not in use.
2.) Interactivity.
I need to have full (temporary) admin rights to their computer or as close as to this as I can. It would be helpful if the user and I each had separate cursors we could use to make changes to the system, or we could take turns using the same cursor.
3.) Free or low cost licensing.
I would prefer free methods, but if I do need to purchase software to do this, I would look at licensing plans.
Please provide links to the software and/or methods of doing this. I would need Windows 2K, XP, and Media Center OS compatibilities.

A. Simple answer to a simple question. You can use realVNC, UltraVNC, PCAnywhere, Remotely Anywhere, or LogMeIn.
UltraVNC and reaVNC are free., PCAnywhere and RemotelyAnywhere cost money. Logmein is free if you get the basic but if you want to be abe to transfer files and all that then you need to pay for it. Now, I recommend Remotely Anywhere. I use it all the time. You can share files, make system changes, and just about anything you want.
Good Luck

Access software when away from the network?
Q. I have a laptop with Windows 2k that is always on running TrendMicro OfficeScan (virus scan thing). All of the computers in the network are using this as well (the laptop is acting as the software server). How can I set up the laptop so I can get the latest OfficeScan updates even when I'm at a different location with another computer? All I'm asking is how would you set up something that can have a public IP address or something?
A. By Remote Desktop, however to do it safly use VPN client as Hamachi.

"Remote Desktop" is part of windows (not sure W2k has it,...)

I have 2 operating systems in my computer. How do I delete one?
Q. It has Windows 2k/2000 and windows xp i want to delete the windows 2000. How do I do that?
A. Firstly...don't format your entire computer.
More than likely to install both, you had to create 2 partitions on your hard drive, one with Windows 2000 and one with Windows XP.
Boot into Windows XP, right click the drive with Windows 2k and click Format.
Next you will need to remove the Boot option for Windows 2k. This will require editing your boot.ini file.
For instructions on doing so, see this MS article.

The line you are looking for will reference Microsoft 2k.
This line should not be deleted (note: my mutli()disk()rdisk()partition() may be different on yours)
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
