Last year I struggled with taming an Asus-g73sw laptop: I too started by wiping the bundlecrap off the disk and installing about half a dozen linux distros on it, and windows-7 but then that was it for windows, XP could NOT be installed. On the other hand the backlit keyboard works only under windows. It isn't just linux that throws fits when you have to move up. As for KDE4, yeah, eyecandy puke but I got it working now and just don't use any feature I don't like. I can't call it inferior to KDE3 even if I had to let go a couple of favorite features. The short of the long is that any major software or hardware move requires a good year to "beat into shape". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
