yeah gianluigi, based on your response, i ask to mikeB but seems are very
busy..

the case of mikeB could not be possible as you said (more than 8G ram) due
amd athlon motherboards for home/office only supports up to 4G, and any
winbuntu distro based does not work in that cpu, some packages raise me the
message "ilegal instruction set"
