Ok, great. I have a laptop too, Compaq Presario 12x310.
Linux:
Getting X to run at all: 4 days
Getting sounds to work above 8bit quality: pending
Getting it do a bypass to a normal monitor: pending
Getting it to work with my external speakers: pending.
Getting it to play DVDs: pending.
WinMe (which I hate):
Displays on external monitor, 1280x1024
External Speakers: full 3d audio, 16 bit
Dvd player: Oh so pretty
I enjoy playing with Linux. However, it's simply not going to take over as the desktop of choice. Period. MS will eventually fall, yes. However, linux isn't going to do it to them.
Saying Linux is the biggest threat to MS might be true. However, when the biggest threat is hardly a threat at all, it doesn't matter all that much.
Maybe I should try FreeBSD.
