Its a Toshiba NB200 with RAM upgraded to 2GB.

Pros?
Cons?

This is a huge leap for me.

Will I need drivers for sound, keyboard like Windows does or how does that work? I am a total newbie to Linux.

I run Linux Mint. For plain vanilla work it's just fine. I also have Virtual Box installed and run XP PRO Service Pack 2 as a guest OS. Get with me later for comments.
