Good thing it was only running on an extra laptop. I kept having to move to a PC running Windows XP whenever I needed to do some "power user" stuff. Linux is great if all you need are the basics (net surfing, email, word processing, etc) or if you're an expert at *nix. If you're somewhere in between, it might be difficult.

7.10 was a long time ago the 8.? Lts release for me has not shown any problems with drivers for normal use. Granted there is not so much "black" software (DVD, music rip of etc.) as for windows. I have not tried the latest 9.?4 as yet but I understand that it is even less resource hungry than 8.1.
I am not biased in any way I go back to Trs dos, Ldos, cpm etc. etc. & believe you should give credit where it is due.
