I've had my geek back to triple the memory, secure the wireless connection against intruders and piggy backers etc and generally iron out a lot of bugs. I have a disc ready to go for Linux (Ubunto) but he suggested that I wait until the changes he has made have settled in before trying it ~ he also suggested a second (external) hard drive for the Linux "Just in case"

I tried ubanto but have returned to Mandriva - in the end I purchased Mandriva 2008 as there was a lot missing from the '1' disc and I had to download all the time... Ubanto was the same actuallt - it did a net install but then needed lots of extra stuff from the tintermong to get it working...

I have a 'clean' Windows PC now talking happily to the linux box which is file sharing and about to host my music server (slimserver)...

I too have piles of hard drives sitting around with various configurations on them...

Bottom line is the linux uses far, far less resources (memory, CPU) than Window$...

However... I must confess that I did buy a PC with Vi$ta on it and quite like it...  redface:

I'm using a Vista PC at work on our network and have not had any problems, I really like it which seems to put BM and me in a minority. I have just ordered a Vista laptop for home and as Mrs TG is the main laptop user I expect some fun and games.  scared2:
