I haven't really gotten back into the swing of things since I updated to python 2.5 (about time too), so perhaps that solves some problems. I had NumPy, but, as I remember, not PIL.

Its only fault is that it's incompatible with .exe files. (I am aware that there are workarounds to this). I've heard about Solaris, which is also free, though not open-source. Apparently it's compatible with a lot. My current laptop, while powerful, is huge, and more like a portable desktop. I want something like the Asus Eeepc for portability, and Vista has lots of issues, so I want to try Solaris.
