What OS to put on my laptop?[views:1758][posts:31]_____________________________________ [Mar 7,2008 9:49am - the_reverend ""] I know I will put on winxp pro/home... but what do you think I should put on it? |
| _________________________________ [Mar 7,2008 9:53am - Niccolai ""] I'm actually really digging vista basic on my pc and ubuntu on my laptop. pretty much every OS is good for something and likable in some way. The exception being anything made by apple, of course. |

| _________________________________ [Mar 7,2008 9:57am - Niccolai ""] pretty much as long as it comes with a system 32 folder to delete, it's a good OS. |

FO SHO For an extra burst of speed, try copying system32 to a backup directory, and then deleting both? Your clock speed will be OVER 9000. |
