"Ever installed Linux in a laptop? I think you'll find that the scavenger hunt for drivers is similar to what Gary experienced." I've installed mandriva and ubuntu on a 2 year old dell laptop. With mandriva I had to download the firmware for my wireless driver. But with Ubuntu everything worked perfectly the first time: internet, sound, graphics. If I install a new copy of any Windows version none of those 3 things work perfectly until I download drivers off the internet. I'm very impressed with Ubuntu. I still use Win XP on my laptop and desktop as well, but from my experience it has been easier to get the drivers with linux.
