You all know me. I'm the self-proclaimed village idiot. I use linux 100% on both of my computers. If the village idiot can do it amyone can. I run Mint12 on my laptop and Ubuntu on the desktop. The only grief I've had with this is when I first installed mint it would panic when I was running it on the battery. Thanks to you guys' recommendation that `lil problem was solved by upgrading the kernel. (I then tried upgrading to an even newer kernel but it started to panic on battery again so I reset it to the kernel I knew worked.
