When I buy a laptop I've found that its advisable to keep the Windows software on it in a partition that's shrunk as small as practical. Why? Because when you call support they probably won't talk to you unless they can step you through some basic diagnostics using Windows.

If you've got a hp, be careful not to say the word "linux". I made that mistake, and they immediately stopped talking to me, saying they couldn't help unless my laptop was in its "original configuration".

Thanks for the warning. This is looking worse post by post. I don't think anyone will help you one to one with Linux. In my experience the only help you can get is on lists like this or on a sort of of Ubuntu type help level on the opensuse forum. Lx
And what is wrong with that? :-) The help is better and faster and _more_ actuate to boot. That's why most of us lurk here to provide what help we can and to learn (or re-learn :-) ) as well.
