I might give this a go on one of my lap tops, I recently got an old EEE PC of flea bay for £47 now loaded up with ubuntu its amazing how usable it is even with a 7" (no giggling at the back please) screen. Since I have friends in the IT department at work I can now access the tinternet at work as required without the powers that be be able to see what I'm looking at.
I've always used Windows but its a bloater compared to some of these new slimmed down OS's, all my data is on external back drives anyhow so if the OS goes belly up I don't lose anything and I never use laptops for storage, so I've got nothing to lose.
Kate: It does take a bit of getting used to at first but after a few goes with a proper OS you wonder how you ever coped with MS shite for so long. It's been quite the culture shock having to get used to W7 and its unbelievable crappiness. I'm sure MS must employ specialists in making everything as annoying, confusing and user-unfriendly as possible![]()
OK
