Dunno.It's an Acer 1310, so not the world's most up-to-date, but I seem to get driver issues. then half the NT Kernel stuff dies. It was abolutely fine until someone from work installed something. Hopefully this time'll it'll be ok...

I'd think about an upgrade. Linux and variants take a lot of getting used to, by comparison Windows is an absolute breeze.If you go for it though, dual-boot with XP.
