Oh, and I ran the live cd and connected online with no problems at all with the included Firefox browser Only problem was that it used the smaller of the two monitors hooked up to the computer.
Not my first choice of OS...but still pretty good. lol, they sent me like 50 for some reason...I guess cause I said I'd hand em out at school.

this may sound a little corny but i can truly say that when you get deep in reading the history, design, and pretty much discover the power of the unix system, it is a beautiful feeling, its exciting.

I visited a couple of links posted here and learned a whole lot, and i can't seem to understand why a system so "wonderful" like linux/unix isn't the world standard in computing.

Sure microsoft has gone very far with windows but i can see its end one day.. to think you go and buy a $400 xbox 360 system and they are already have network and stability isssues with it.
