The MSI Wind uses a version of Linux called SUSE. It's a German distro and from what I've read about it's rock solid. I bought a Linux preloaded computer from Dell My favorite use so far is the graphics manipulation. I've used it to make my own additions to Pookies Toons which ran for many years here on FreeRepublic.
The few problems I've had were easy to resolve because many Linux users are hard core geeks and like to troubleshoot problems just for kicks, and they do so on easy to use forums. (I even stirred up a little trouble recently on one thread claiming it "wasn't political" and clearly was.)
That’s a hoot. I’m on the Ubuntu forums all the time. “Closed for review”..
Many thanks for the info, looks interesting.
