I’m just repurposing an old laptop, nothing fancy.
Though I remain an advocate of Windows over LINUX. I like being a paid programmer!
I started to upgrade to Vista after trying an MSDN copy. I decided that if I am going to do that much work and spend that much money that I could learn Linux.
Its a slow go, but I had an older P4-400 running Puppy Linux in about 30 minutes.
Still, all of my repair work is done to Winders systems. I would hate to kill a cash cow and switch customers over to Linux.
Except for a few folks ...
