Sounds like a good plan to save money. With the economy the way it is, I guess Microsoft is asking too much for the Windows 7 migration.

I'm in agreement with the post: Microsoft isn't in any real danger until the major game developers begin developing for Linux platforms.

I recommended Xubuntu (a less resource-intensive version of Ubuntu) in the original post. That is still probably a good choice for some.

However, I've switched to Ubuntu because Giggle Chrome exists for it and not for Xubuntu; the Linux version assumes various Gnome libraries will be there. Likely I could get Chrome running on Xubuntu, but it would need a lot of fiddling about.

Meanwhile, Ubuntu have a new version, a "netbook remix" intended for small netbook machines. That might suit some better than any of the above.

Good fun. You can also throw Damn Small Linux on a bootable flash drive for an ultra low footprint OS.
