Finally! As soon as this gets released , it's on my Machine.
I've been trying (as a gamer) to get Windows off of my Machine and start using WINE and Debian/Ubuntu (Ubuntu is based on Debian 3 , so there isn't that big a difference) . It didn't really work out though (it ran too slow due to WINE - my 1.73GHz Celeron M CPU was only as good as my friend's 1.0GHz Pentium), even if it ran pretty good (Flatout 2 -1280x800,min. Graphics settings -> 25fps) with the "C:\Windows" Folder copied from my Windows Vista installation .
EDIT:Since this seems to be a reocurring question : I use(d) GNU/Linux due to its speed benefits and lack of bugs (ALL problems I had while my machine was running Linux were due to me doing something I shouldn't have done.
EDIT2:Everything else (all Linux applications , MS Office) ran just as well and responsive on the old Toshiba laptop with Linux (1.73GHz Celeron M 430,1GB RAM,ATi GPU 64MB) as it did on the Compaq CQ40 with Windows 7(2x2.2GHz,4GB RAM,ATi HD3450 512MB).
