Also, when I bought my current ThinkPad E520, I took a live Linux CD with me, to test in the store before I bought.

I did that a couple of times with a Knoppix CD @BestBuy. A bit unfair, I'll grant you, since Knoppix very resilient and will run on h/w what other distributions can't. The second time I was driven off by one of the know-nothing salesman and had to leave the CD behind in the machine. I've always wondered if that wasn't a version that if you simply booted it and did nothing else it would install on the hard drive. -- “Reality is so complex, we must move away from dogma, whether it’s conspiracy theories or free-market,” -- James Glattfelder. http://jth.ch/jbg
