once, I experimented with linux. I have lost something like 10 gb to this monster. but I am too ashamed to face this "linux" and admit failure.

We can help.  We understand you...

I know.
I know.

it's just that at the time, I was a huge game-person.
Actually, just one game.
and it theoretically could work in NWN, but, in practice it did not. and my wireless network hated it, and shut off every few minutes.
i put in so much goddamn effort into it. trying to find the right drivers. having to edit files in Vi because I picked the wrong display driver. learning all the commands...
but in the end, it was too much of a pain to get it to do the things I wanted it to do.

when I get a new computer for college, I think this one can become my Linux box.
although, most of the problems I had with linux were, I believe, due to this computer being a laptop. or not. I can't really remember any of what happened with it.

Wireless is usually pretty iffy, i've got my 3 year old Compaq POS's wireless working fine with ndiswrapper.  I don't know if you've tried that or not, but something to consider.
