So if I did want to install another version of Linux on the HP 2133, could I say attach an external USB DVD-ROM and boot from it? Has anyone else tried loading different linux versions on these, if so, how have you managed it and are there are better versions of linux for this hardware?
No experience of that machine but yes I'd imagine you could boot from a USB DVD Rom or use unetbootin to turn a Disto such as Ubuntu's ISO into a bootable USB stick.
The ubuntu wiki has a page for your machine https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/HP2133 with installation instructions for Intrepid (although why they are not telling people to use unetbootin rather than mess about with pendrive linux I am not sure.
