I'm totally happy to do this for you for free. The question is, is this what you really want. I mean, I roll Linux on my desktop at work and love it, but that's not to say it's not a hassle sometimes. With a virtual machine you would probably run into some problems still, especially with custom hardware like you get on a laptop.

I'm dying to set up a decent Linux desktop for somebody, if you want that.

lumberjim · 09-01-2008, 08:56 PM

I don't really know what Linux means, to be honest. i do know that I was v comfortable with windows xp. and this thing is sweating me already. maybe I'll get used to it.....but for having 4G of ram, it really doesn't seem to be that much faster.

Undertoad · 09-01-2008, 10:19 PM

Sounds like the thing you really need is an XP "upgrade".

lumberjim · 09-01-2008, 10:23 PM

downgrade? you mean?

Undertoad · 09-01-2008, 10:45 PM

yes.

Flint · 09-02-2008, 01:25 PM

Yeah, just take it back and get XP. Unless you're a glutton for punishment.

lumberjim · 09-02-2008, 03:56 PM

how do you do that, exactly? xp was not offered as an option.

Use your best car dealership negotiating skills to convince them. (Whether you're entitled to the "downgrade" by your M$ license seems to be beyond question. The question is how much Worst Buy is going to help you in doing it & what they will charge for it.
