I'm very anti-microsoft and very much pro unix operating systems. However, why would you buy a laptop with ubuntu, if you don't know what you are doing. Theoretically, you actually could put word on it with wine. As for the Verizon disc, I've been there and done that. There are ways around it, you just have to be smarter than the disc:P I think that was poor planning on Verizon's part, you shouldn't need a disc to install your dsl. Who the hell though up that idea. Used to be you could just plug it in and it would work:P Idk, maybe I'm just ranting, but I'm a Linux support technician, and stupid people annoy me lol. Well that's my $0.02, I'm done now.
I have to agree with this, I am a huge linux fan, used it for years, and try to use it for everything I do on the computer. However, it seems I always have to end up putting a partition on my hard drive for windows specifically to use Photoshop. There just really isn't a good alternative to Photoshop. I have used the GIMP before, I know my way around it, but being used to Photoshop, I often find simple tasks in Photoshop could take me hours in GIMP just trying to use the different editing tools. I think it's all a matter of preference and what you are used to, but I would like to have the option to choose while using Linux
ahahahahaha....haha. Wow. Thats about all i have to say. This is probably the dumbest thing i have ever read. Maybe this is Bush's reasoning on going to Iraq for weapons of mass destruction, Saddam downloaded some porn off the pirate bay and since he's downloading movies, he's gotta have weapons of mass destruction.

Just a note on the Photoshop, Google has been funding Linux support of Photoshop for a while now.

I think it's great, I have to agree, the GIMP is a bit difficult to use when you're used to Photoshop.
The ram was wrong, its actually 1.6PB instead of TB
