<p>I installed Ubuntu. At first it was painful, because I told it to partition 80GB out of my 320GB hard drive, but for some reason it only partitioned 2.5GB. It sucked 3 hours out of my Saturday night because they make it so painful for you to resize partitions. I eventually figured it out, though my partition is now 100GB (for whatever reason) … I won’t be changing it because it’s not worth wasting more precious time (I have a lot of free space anyways). </p>
<p>Other than that, it is very user-friendly and it’s SO much faster than Windows. They really should charge $19 or $29 for a CD for this. I’d pay for it, because it’s that good. It boots up in like 20 seconds and shuts down in 7 seconds (I actually counted this). It makes my 3 year old laptop feel brand new again.</p>
