Bottom view.
Front view with Slot in DVD with Eject and Power on touch.
Rear view with 4 USB, DVI, Audio, LAN and DC Power.
Included with DVI to VGA Adapter, user manual, Driver cd (for Windows XP) and DC adapter.
Plug in all connector with keyboard, mouse, monitor, then boot you will see Red flag Linux login prompt. It installed Red flag Linux with X, but don’t have KDE or GNOME. So you type root and enter.
Then you can use command line interface for using Red flag Linux, you can add addition package as you need, but I prefer another distribution.
One thing that I prefer for a new distribution because Red Flag Linux come with NOVALite have older kernel and don’t have ethernet module.
The I use gOS-space 2.9 cd try to boot in safe graphic mode.
It work well with this PC all hardware detected.
It use ATL2 driver module for ethernet interface.
All eth0 ethernet interface and WLAN0 D-Link DL122 usb wireless lan adapter are available for use.
Then just click install and follow up step then you will have a new cool Linux machine.
