The 2 Vista laptops I bought did not have an option for a Linux install.
At the price I got them for, I'll take whatever OS is loaded on 'em.
Does this make me stupid or a bad man?

I have a linux machine at work but there's room only for 3 computers and
it's temporarily in storage. I have no problem with Linux but the 3
computers run XP very smoothly and I have to have a good reason to
monkey around with that setup. I also have two extra XP machines but
there's no way I'd run yet another XP machine. The fourth computer will
obviously be my little Intel Atom machine running Linux - when I can
figure out where the hell to set it up. :-)

Another problem is that the proprietary programming software I use is
not made for linux or for any Apple machine. I wish it did run in Linux
but that's the breaks.

My guess is that you probably don't know what you're talking about when
you say I have tons of choices. What are they?
