That's ok.  What I learned is that the HP2133 comes with a custom setup of
Suse that is VERY old (firefox 2.0.1, gami 1.5, etc) with no upgrade
packages available, and third party repos were promised to break 
everything.

Total suckage.

So I got Minbuntu, which is built *specifically* for the hp2133, and
everything works swimmingly.  I think I like it better than my dell d630.
