My 15 year old daughter crashed the hard drive in here laptop by throwing it around. She also lost all the installation discs that came with it. I put ubuntu on it and she never complained once. But yeah it took me awhile to get it setup right, the wireless network card gave me a bit of trouble until I figured out what drivers I needed.

There are hockey games on Christmas day here in the USA. My son played in one last year and we live in Southern California. Trust me the rinks are open 365 days a year.
