I Use Linux

Opensuse...     I've used Redhat, Slackware, Fedora, Ubuntu, and some of the early editions before v1.0 kernel.  I'm working with openSUSE 12.1 on my Acer 5315 with 3 Gb RAM on a 320 Gb USB removable drive.   It works very well.  I'm still looking for some Motorola Droid 3 control software for Linux, but it has everything else.  If it wasn't for MS Office and a few PC games, I would do away with Windows altogether.  I just haven't found a Linux databa<x>se program as good as MS Access yet.  Everything else is available.
    I have a newer drive that should be on the way for this laptop soon that will replace the internal, then I'll split it with Windows & Linux.
